This was ok. Well acted and a nice mental health/ romance film. I like both Bradley Cooper and Jenifer Lawrence. Though the film was a little messy at the same time. I didn’t find The characters relatable but maybe someone with bipolar would have, I didn’t think the characters were even that likeable though, all the dancing stuff and the weird football superstition stuff was all kinda weird. I just wasn’t that entertained. It was cool, but forgettable, something to pass the time but not a film that left a strong impression on me or a film I will ever watch again. But I like romances and this was a decent one.
Also De Niro is in it.
Really isn’t that much else left to say as this film didn’t leave me with much to think or talk about. I would never recommend this to anyone but if you were thinking bout watching it anyway don’t let my review put you off, it was ok, I just didn’t connect with it at all. I don’t think I was in the right place and I don’t think it’s the kinda thing you watch early in the morning before work.
5.8/10
