Cake

Cake a offert à Jennifer Anniston une excellente opportunité de carrière et celle-ci l’a honorée à cent pour cent. C’est la meilleure prestation qu’elle ait jamais offerte et ça prouve qu’à côté de la comédie, elle est également capable de jouer des rôles plus sérieux. Ce drame intimiste et psychologique, avare en action, rebondissements et suspense, est une sonde dans la vie de gens qui ont connu une tragédie personnelle de laquelle ils ne se remettront peut-être jamais. Personnellement, je verrais quand même bien un peu plus de sensations fortes, de suspense et un bon retournement de situation, mais je respecte que les créateurs aient choisi de garder les choses sous un jour calme et civilisé. Après longtemps, je revois enfin Sam Worthington ; j’avais l’impression qu’il avait disparu de l’univers du cinéma. (01/06/2015)

If only the film wasn't narrated so mysteriously the whole time, as if there is some great revelation waiting for you at the end, I would give it a much higher rating, but its inconsistency leaves me with no other option. The acting is good, but it needs to stop playing something that isn't actually there for the audience. (31/01/2015)

I found myself deeply connecting with the main character's emotions, even though our diagnoses may differ; we cripples just understand each other :-) Jennifer Aniston delivered a wonderful performance. Unlike many viewers, I was thoroughly entertained throughout the entire film, as much as I would be watching an action-packed movie. The creators managed to (quite surprisingly for me) avoid melodrama and accurately captured the essence of us cripples – we may lack many things, but our biting sarcasm and, for the luckier ones among us, cynicism, are always intact. / Lesson learned: Don't rely too much on pills; sometimes, a chat with a possum is all you need.
