Synopsis / あらすじ
[English / 英語] After spending eight months in a psychiatric institution for a violent outburst involving his wife’s lover, Pat Solitano Jr. (Bradley Cooper) is released into the care of his mother, Dolores (Jacki Weaver). Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Pat returns to his parents’ home, obsessively determined to reconcile with his estranged wife, Nikki, by maintaining a relentless “silver lining” optimism. His path crosses with Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a mysterious young widow struggling with her own emotional scars. Tiffany offers a deal: she will help deliver a letter to Nikki if Pat agrees to be her partner in an upcoming dance competition. Through the rigorous discipline of dance practice, these two damaged souls begin to find a fragile but genuine healing in each other’s company. The film asks: Can Pat truly find a “silver lining” amidst his internal struggles? What is the profound meaning of a love that accepts brokenness? And how do we find the courage to begin the long journey of recovery?
[日本語] 妻の浮気相手を激しく殴打したことで、8ヶ月間もの精神施設生活を送ったパット・ソリターノ・ジュニア（ブラッドリー・クーパー）は、母ドロレス（ジャッキー・ウィーバー）の監督下でようやく退院し、両親の家に戻ります。双極性障害と診断されたパットですが、本人は「常に前向きで楽観的（シルバー・ライニング）でいれば、すべてはうまくいく」と信じ、別居中の妻ニッキとの復縁に執着していました。そんな彼の前に、自らも深い心の傷を抱えた若い未亡人ティファニー（ジェニファー・ローレンス）が現れます。彼女は「ニッキへの手紙を届ける代わりに、ダンスコンテストのパートナーになってほしい」とパットに提案します。ダンスの猛練習を通じて、傷ついた二人の魂は、互いの存在の中に少しずつ「癒し」を見出し始めます。映画は問いかけます。心の病という困難の中で、パットは真の希望を見つけられるのでしょうか。欠落さえも包み込む愛の本当の意味とは。そして、人はどのようにして、再生への第一歩を踏み出す勇気を得るのでしょうか。

- Metacritic: 81/100 (Universal Acclaim)
- IMDb: 7.7/10
- Eiga.com（映画.com）: 3.8/5
- One of the most acclaimed American films of 2012 — earned nominations in all four acting categories at the Oscars, a feat achieved only eight times in Academy history
- Jennifer Lawrence’s performance universally described as a revelation — raw, funny, undefended, and at 22 the youngest Best Actress winner in Oscar history at the time
- Bradley Cooper praised for transforming his screen persona entirely: the ease and charm stripped back to reveal genuine fragility and volatility
- Robert De Niro’s performance called his finest in years — a man whose own compulsions and superstitions give him, unexpectedly, a particular attunement to his son
- Jacki Weaver’s Dolores — the film’s moral center, the person absorbing everyone else’s chaos with quiet, inexhaustible love — cited as the performance the film could not exist without
- The representation of bipolar disorder praised by mental health advocates as unusually accurate and humanizing — not exploitative, not sentimentalized, but recognizable
- Roger Ebert.com: ★★★★ “A film that works as entertainment while taking mental illness seriously — a rare and difficult balance”
- The New York Times: “Smart, funny, and deeply felt — Russell at his most humane”
- Variety: “A film about damaged people who are also completely alive”
- The Guardian: ★★★★ “Lawrence and Cooper make something genuinely electric”
- Some critics noted the film’s third act — the dance competition as resolution — risks conventional genre mechanics after the first two acts’ rawness
- Defenders argued the deliberate genre turn is the point: that Pat and Tiffany are claiming, consciously, the right to a happy ending that the world has told them they do not deserve
- Widely cited in mental health communities as a model for how popular cinema can portray psychiatric conditions without stigma, spectacle, or false resolution
