I still prefer "Fighter", but the skill of directing stories is indeed strong

Still prefer The Fighter in term of my favorite among David Russell's directorial efforts, but he definitely knows how to tell a family drama, and his delicate touch is what elevated this above a regular rom-com. Both Lawrence and Cooper are terrific and deserve Oscar nominations, although the fact that Lawrence is the current frontrunner for the win is more indicative of a weak year for the Best Actress field. I'll still be very happy for her as she has grown into one of my favorite young actresses with her last few performances.

Tiffany: Hey!
Pat: What the fuck? I'm married!
Tiffany: So am I!
Pat: What the fuck are you doing? Your husband's dead!
Tiffany: Where's your wife?
Pat: You're crazy!
Tiffany: I'm not the one who just got out of that hospital in Baltimore.
Pat: I'm not the big slut!... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry.
Tiffany: I was a big slut, but I'm not any more. There's always going to be a part of me that's sloppy and dirty, but I like that. With all the other parts of myself. Can you say the same about yourself fucker? Can you forgive? Are you any good at that?
