Cake (2014)
Directed by Daniel
Barnz this film stars Jennifer Aniston, Adriana Barraza, Sam
Worthington and Anna Kendrick. A woman who lives with chronic pain
struggles with the loss of her son and the suicide of one of the
members of her support group for people with chronic pain.
There is nothing
especially original or insightful about this film but it is a well
handled film about a subject that could easily stray into melodrama.
Thankfully the film ignores the overly sentimental pitfalls to give a
well balanced feel to the film. The performances are decent but at
times it feels like there is some scenes that must have been cut with
so many big name actors in supporting roles that are barely on the
screen.
3/5
