Nominated
for various Oscars and deservingly so. About an older couple where the wife is
suddenly struck by illness and is faced with life in a dreadful deteriorating
state. The lead actress Emmanuelle Riva is spectacular. Like, truly amazing. I
love Jennifer Lawrence as much as the next guy but there’s no way she was
better in Silver Linings Playbook than Emmanuelle is in this – they got ‘best
actress’ at the Oscars wrong in my view. Really wrong.
A beautiful
film but a bit harrowing, not one to see when you want to buck up!
