NoHardFeelings Review: Jennifer Lawrence's Raunchy Comedy Is Chaotic & Hysterical
Since her career began in 2008, Jennifer Lawrence has starred in roughly 25 films. That none of them is an out-and-out comedy may come as a surprise to some. David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook is as close as Lawrence has gotten, but that film is laced with a melancholic tenderness that netted the actress her first Academy Award. Now, after stepping back from the spotlight and shifting away from franchise filmmaking, Lawrence is back and better than ever.
No Hard Feelings is sure to inspire discourse , but those conversations will largely miss the point of what is a surprisingly sweet movie. Feldman, in his second major film role, serves as a worthy and empathetic counterpoint to Lawrence's jaded Maddie, and their chemistry, based on a platonic care for each other rather than anything that could be considered sexual, is something that blossoms nicely over the course of the film's run.
It's Feldman who is the real star of the show, though. He plays Percy with a pitch-perfect mix of social awkwardness, meek curiosity, and slight disdain for Maddie's overt come-ons. It's a bit uncomfortable watching them navigate the early scenes of their courtship, but that feels wholly the point, and it culminates in some hilarious physical comedy from Lawrence involving a tight dress, mace, and a kidnapper van.
