2013 #15: AMERICAN HUSTLE

American Hustle
Four utterly fantastic performances propel this sort-of-true 70's set drama while David O. Russell continues his hot streak as a director of familiar yet somehow unpredictable studio entertainments. The writing is funny and clever, the style is abundant, the hair and make-up are all aces. It may not add up to anything profound by the end but moment to moment it surges and pulses with energy and clear zest for filmmaking.
