Released from a mental institution into the care of his parents, a bipolar man is still dead set on winning back his wife, whose adultery had driven him over the edge. Along the way, which is full of bumps, he meets a spiky young woman with mental issues of her own and the manner in which they clash and make up repeatedly sends showers of sparks across the screen, as well as a rising certainty that they will end up together. Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, despite their obvious age gap, make a magnetic couple, and Robert De Niro in support as Cooper's deeply superstitious and OCD-wracked dad completes a full house of people needing some calm in their lives. It's vibrant and sharp enough that not aspiring to profundity really doesn't matter too much.
6/10
