Yeah, Amsterdam was a Covid release movie and those films didn’t get much promotional money. Perhaps it was the way it was edited that didn’t gel; he sort of put the beginning of the story at the 40 minute mark of the film. It worked for me, Tarantino style editing I guess. I think David O Russel makes great films generally. I really liked American Hustle. The Fighter was also very good. Silver Linings Playbook a little too chick-flicky for me but a solid movie overall.
I Heart Huckabees is one of his first, it was apparently a difficult film to make but ended up being pretty decent. There are some youtube clips of the director going insanely mad screaming and cursing at Lily Tomlin - kinda funnier than the film itself.
The Fighter was great!
