Review of Cake

Cake (II) (2014)
5/10
Lacks a punch
10 February 2015
Warning: Spoilers
There are some movies you wait to watch and after watching it you feel the wait wasn't worth it. Daniel Barnz's "Cake" was one such movie. The movie just drags on and on.

Jennifer Aniston gives a commendable performance as Claire. The story is about Claire who is attending a support group trying to cope with her son's death. It takes you through the pain she is undergoing, the nightmares, the hallucinations and mind disorder that she is experiencing.

Anna Kendrick does a good job in the small and neat role given to her. Sam Worthington lacked a punch. Not much expression in his face. Adriana Barraza has adapted to her role very well. She looks believable as the hired help. The movie looses focus along the run time and the pain gets too much for us. If you want to see dry drama and Aniston in one of the better roles (especially after Horrible bosses 2) you can sure watch it.
