“In Winter's Bone, the film that first brought her acclaim, Lawrence showed the instincts of a fine actor - she could project inner fire and vulnerability without overselling things. But her performance in Silver Linings Playbook is a revelation nonetheless - she takes this broken woman and brings her to life with wit and grace and deep, dark currents of heartache. Cooper and Lawrence together are, well, awesome.” - Philadelphia Inquirer

“Lawrence, the fem warrior of The Hunger Games and Academy Award nominee at 20 for 2010's Winter's Bone, is some kind of miracle. She's rude, dirty, funny, foulmouthed, sloppy, sexy, vibrant and vulnerable, sometimes all in the same scene, even in the same breath. No list of Best Actress Oscar contenders would be complete without the electrifying Lawrence in the lead. She lights up the screen.” - Rolling Stone
