Review of Cake

Cake (II) (2014)
4/10
Excellent acting, that's about it

This movie is very similar to the french film Blue. The movie starts by introducing a woman who is depressed because of personal tragedy while also experiencing physical pain. Jennifer Aniston delivers a strong performance as do all of the supporting cast. But the movie never has a story. The movie is very realistic and accurately portrays the feeling of depression. But there isn't a story, and that should be noted in any review. I could imagine being in the mood to watch a performance of a woman dealing with overwhelming depression. But most days I would find this to be a well directed movie of an awful script. I gave it 4 stars, but it would likely get much less without the quality acting performances.
