Synopsis

Our take

Uniting an all-star cast of some of America’s finest working screen actors, David O. Russell (Silver Linings Playbook) made a roaring comeback with this beautiful story of family ties and physical mastery. Overflowing with deeply felt performances by Amy Adams, Mark Wahlberg, and Christian Bale.
