It's no wonder that this film was the recipient of so much attention and awards. The film is one of the duo's best performances, with Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence playing different and complex characters incredibly well. Pat (Bradley Cooper) is attempting to get his life back on track after a failing marriage and trip to a mental health facility for his bipolar disorder when he meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence) who is a widow with depression and other issues of her own. The unlikely pair form a close bond and help each other through their problems.
