Hi Soupe!

Whew. I slogged my way through Silver Linings Playbook. Didn't care for that one. Way too much relentless hostility, and I have the feeling that someone pulled the term "bipolar disorder" out of a hat, without knowing the first thing about what the diagnosis means.


Mr. Jones was definitely the outstanding of the two. This is interesting, from Wikipedia:

To prepare for the film, Richard Gere, Mike Figgis and Eric Roth did a tremendous amount of research and studying on bipolar disorder. Gere met with several people who have the disorder to gain insight and knowledge on what to accurately portray.

Thanks again for the terrific recommendations
