Cake

“Forgiveness is a bitter pill to swallow”.

I was quite impressed with actress Jennifer Aniston’s performance in the 2014 drama ‘Cake’ written by Patrick Tobin and directed by Daniel Barnz. 102 minute run-time with an estimated budget of 7 million USD; nominated for 1 Golden Globe, 4 other nominations and 2 wins. Tragedy overwhelms and sometime swallows us and actors in this film honestly portrayed the pain, loss and how they try to cope with the intense misery.

Life is not always sunshine and roses and it was a pleasure to see Aniston take on something so serious and meaningful. I’m really proud of her. Adorable and talented Anna Kendrick also joins in and  delivers exceptionally.  English Sam Worthington also shines in his performance. Mexican Adriana Barraza also showered the audience with refreshing faith and patience.

This one hit home. Pain and depression isn’t only mental, it’s physical and can envelope your entire life. It’s a transformation that wasn’t so sweet but oh so real…
