A movie made on purpose to just try to win awards. Script is awful....words put together to just make the actors sound offbeat. Long long long list of big name actors and Taylor swift. I can imagine what everyone involved in this film was thinking..."can't wait to go to Celebrity parties and talk about how AMAZING this film is! It's so smart and well crafted!" Pure vanity project for everyone involved. "Oh look at me I was sooo amazing in this film". Characters created to act offbeat. Almost like a poor man's Wes Anderson film. I'm very happy this was a box office flop, to give everyone involved in this film a lesson to never create something like this ever again. Acting is pretentious absurdity, but the plot? What plot? You can be halfway through the movie and still feel like you're waiting for the plot to start.

Just a bunch of actors got together to pat themselves on the back to say look how beautiful I am in the movie acting kooky for big time David O Russell.

Gave it two stars only because of the cinematography and having Christian Bale in it.
