The life of a character living with a condition. A condition made apparent from a highly traumatic event which will forever leave its mark.
I think almost all of us can relate in one way or another. A singular event that we will remember for some reason or another, and that has somehow changed us for the worse or the better.
Following the relationship between two characters that have (what can be), aggressive conditions and how they work together in spite of this can be heart-warming. You feel almost as if such a relationship could not work between any other two.
New developments and subplots present themselves at points (the father having a superstitious gambling problem for instance), lend well and compliment the overall story.
Although the end is predictable, it still comes as a welcome and pleasing end. Fantastic acting on all parts, especially Bradley Cooper who handles his role and its challenges well. Making it believable and involved.
