Saw it earlier this week. It started off strangely to me but got better as it went along. Lawrence steals every scene she's in but the performances are pretty strong all around.
Kinda feel like the star of the movie was whoever did hair and wardrobes.

Awesome movie. J Law killed it and Amy Adams was hot as hell. In the tradition of Casino/Goodfellas, it was funnier than any comedy released this year.

Film critic Mark Kermode said something about the hair too.

Thought this movie was fucking fantastic.

Really outstanding performances by all involved, and it's pretty goddamned funny too. It does feel like David O. Russell is blatantly biting Scorsese, but the shit is so good you don't care. The costumes are incredibly garish, but it just adds to the overall charm. Bale and Adams had a great chemistry, and as said above, Lawrence brought her A game. Louis CK definitely held his own opposite Bradley Cooper, and was perfectly cast.

This is well worth seeing in the theater in my opinion, it's one of the best films I've seen this year. Really entertaining. It's going to clean up at the Oscars.

It was pretty good. It was made well but it wasn't a great movie. Just a normal fun movie. It felt like an imitation of a Scorsese movie.

yeah, it's a well done version of things that have all been done before

it's like a rom-con period piece starring the U.S. Government
