Silver Linings Playbook

A man that has been imprisoned for beating up his wife's lover is released from a mental institute into the custody of his parents.  His  delusional efforts to win back his estranged wife lead him to meet Tiffany, a woman with emotional troubles of her own.

An unexpected delight. Very sundancesque in that this is a total character piece. Slow at times and very methodical the story gently unfolds the crazy in everyone on screen.

Fun dialogue and odd ball characters help create this uncomfortable world that everyone hears about but is rarely witnessed.

*** Must See

Rated R (for language and brief nudity)
