David O. Russell

DIRECTORS have to do so much hard work.  Fine Directors are a special breed.  Tackling very difficult film concepts like mental illness can be so challenging.  But when the movie works...Lord it is a magnificent achievement.  The new film by the clever director David Russell is what I am talking about.  This movie is a terrific interpretation of human emotions.  This movie...'Silver Linings Playbook'...is a great one.
