Silver Linings Playbook (2012)

Seen on 24-2-2013 at GVK INOX
This  movie attracted our attention esp  bec it is loudly advertised as having won 8 Oscar nominations and is reported to be in line for several wins at the Oscar Awards ceremony the following day.  Incidentally, for us it was a kind of an adventure to go alone to see this in Inox GVK Mall bec we were going to this maze of a mall for the first time.
Whatever, as it turned out this movie did win  one Oscar at least--if not several--for Best Actress (Jennifer Lawrence WHO WAS KNOWN TO US FROM HER "WINTER'S BONE"), although this movie did not excite us much.  It is basically about a man fresh out of a mental institution (Bipolar Disorder) falling in love and overcoming his sickness when he begins to bond and love a neighborhood girl. True, Bradley Cooper was good, but the theme itself, much less its treatment by the director David O. Russell, did not appeal to us.
