Saw this today. If you like David O. Russell movies, this is a pretty good one. Some really good performances.

Alternate title is Sideboob: The Movie.

Can't wait. Unfortunately had to settle for Walking With Dinosaurs since I was with my 5 year old this weekend (which was good, btw).

Was good. Good music, costumes, period feel. Some of the expected beats of a which conman-is-conning-who movie, though.

Jennifer Lawrence shows some real range in this flick. Amy Adams also did well.

Jennifer Lawrence made me love hating her. She was the stereotypical spoiled 80s Long Island housewife and she rocked it.

It was also the darkest I've seen Adams go and she killed as well.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Seconded.

Also this is a good movie.

That is now the only acceptable way to reference that appliance in our household.

Saw this today. Great performances all round, to the extent that I ended up hating every one single of the characters. Also, way too depressing and dark for me. If you like this kind of film you will love it I recon. Just not to my taste.

Saw it yesterday and I loved it. Though it could probably be called "World of Fabulous Wigs" without a hint of irony. I thought it really showed both Bale and Renner's range, but Jennifer Lawrence played Cray Cray so damn well, and Amy Adams has really impressed me since Man of Steel. This movie deserved the accolades, IMO.
