Jennifer Aniston sheds her good-girl rom-com image to play a troubled woman with serious health issues.
What the critics say
“No good can ultimately come from a movie that is as obsessed with wind chimes as Cake” - RogerEbert.com
“Sure, Aniston leads with her scowl here, in the sort of performance that often gets called “brave” but is more accurately described as a well-executed change of pace.” - Variety
“…just a humdrum yet hokey study of the effects of chronic pain. Two stars.” - The Guardian
A frustrated office worker called Kumiko becomes obsessed with a popular movie, and travels to North Dakota to recover treasure. Adult fairytale.
What the critics say
“[A] wonderfully strange and beguiling adventure story comprised of buried treasure, hand crafts, and a possibly unhealthy obsession with the Coen brothers.”- Variety
The [Zellner] brothers’ strongest emotional achievement [...] pushes their style up to a new level of sophistication.” - IndieWire
“[Rinko Kikuchi] makes it impossible to tell whether Kumiko is genuinely troubled or if she’s simply fallen through the cracks” - Film.com
“[It] was written back in 2002 — a fact that partly accounts for the whiff of stale leftovers that hangs over the movie from start to finish.” - Hollywood Reporter
“…a movie that is technically a comedy, with all the pointlessly foul language, racial and gender stereotypes, stammering, and canine penis-biting…” - New York Times
