Cake (2014 Daniel Barnz)

From funny Jen to serious Jen - addicted to painkillers and scarred and smashed to pieces, film doesn't dawdle in misery and is at times quite funny. She likes the gritty parts. Benefits enormously also from performance by Adriana Barazza (who was Oscar-nominated for Babel) as the maid.

We got another reference to Saint Jude (the last one was in Man on Fire).

With Felicity Huffman, Sam Worthington, Anna Kendrick, Lucy Punch, William H Macy. Written by Patrick Tobin (whose only other credit is HIV drama No Easy Way).
