Christian Bale is known for transformative purposes, and this is one of my favorites. His Dickie Ward is an absolute livewire, spasming with energy and haunted by the ghost of Greatness that he doesn’t realize isn’t there. The movie can sometimes teeter on the edge of caricature (Melissa Leo falls just on the right side, while the Greek chorus of sisters falls way on the wrong side), but feels largely accurate overall. I would have recommended some different music choices–David O. Russell tries to imitate Scorsese in the soundtrack, but the songs are often just too on-the-nose to be anything but distracting. (See: “Here I Go Again,” “Good Times Bad Times,” “Back in the Saddle,” etc.)
