BTW, ignore the comments.

I generally do.
It's a nice article, with a very astute reading on the partnership between Russell and Lawrence, even if I don't agree with every point that's made (mainly with regards the prurient dimension that the author ascribes to Russell). The unpacking of that tendency of Russell's to send Lawrence marching into male dominated scenarios that she seizes control of though, is particularly on the ball.
I this was my favourite part...

To watch Lawrence in a David O. Russell movie is to be made aware of just how little leeway, how little inspiration, so many other talented actresses are allowed in their own vehicles.

This is why I love her work with Russell. It opens her up, and allows her to be creative, in a way that's far more restricted in her other work... to date. With luck, her upcoming projects will afford her such similar creative inspiration. I'm looking at you, Mr. Aronofsky...
