Silver Linings Playbook -2013-

(Jennifer Lawrence), a sharp-tongued young widow struggling with her own depression onthescreenreviews.com

Jennifer Lawrence, at just 22 years old (and looking even younger), does something even more difficult. She plays Tiffany as a predator who is actually a prey. Tiffany is sharp, aggressive, and sexually forward, but Lawrence layers that with profound grief. The character is recently widowed, and her "bad" behavior—sleeping with everyone in her office, screaming at her sister—is a malfunctioning cry for help. When she finally breaks down in Pat’s arms, confessing her loneliness, it is shattering. She won the Oscar for this role because she made messiness look authentic, not manic-pixie-dream-girl cute. silver linings playbook -2013-
