This is another example of people giving terrible reviews to a fantastic film. I don't know why this happens so often. I believe this is David O Russell's best film yet. It's a delightful story full of romance and good-will set in a Kafkaesque past, which points directly at the present. It's a kind of historical document revealing the reasons for war and simultaneously warning the viewer that even the good war in our past was a very bad war, fought for the wrong reasons. That's how it was then, and we are reminded to take heed, least they do it again. They tell us who to hate and who to fear. They create conflict and tell us who to blame. It was ever thus!

Great movie.
