The Outlook Is Mostly Cloudy in 'Silver Linings Playbook'

Looking for David O. Russell

Manic as it might be stylistically, emotionally, Silver Linings Playbook maintains too even of a keel. It's a film about the alienated that makes sure to alienate no one, a movie depicting wild mood extremes that never rises or falls above a dull hum of diversion, never exploding into riotous comedy or daring to be devastatingly sad. Its chaos is always tightly controlled. Russell has made a great movie about American malaise; this isn't it.
