– I had ONE incident!
– But one incident can change a lifetime.
Last night I wanted to watch something funny and hopeful and sweet. So I thought what better than a film with the title Silver Linings Playbook! And it really is a brilliant film!
After 8 months of hospitalization into a mental hospital for assault, Pat’s mother takes him out to live in his parents’ house, but Pat still has issues. Tiffany comes into his life in a very sudden way and tries to change it, dealing with her own loss at the same time.
Pat+Tiffany
As I started watching the film I felt sad, uncomfortable and unsettled. I could see the main character was struggling. While the film moved on I started to feel that something bad might happen. I hoped that everything would turn out for the best. And that’s just it. Every cloud has a silver lining! This film makes you hope. Though it is bittersweet at times, (the father is also problematic and Pat’s friends do not really know how to help) you come to love the characters and feel for them. Their dancing is lovely and hilarious! The music is wonderful! This film is great!
