The acting is superb and the characters are well developed. Since most business men are criminals, IMHO, there is much to be learned here.
There is a lot of criminal wisdom in this movie which is very wise. But it should be said, Aniston has done a brilliant job on this one. Layer Cake is so true to life, that takes on a life of it own. It debuted in the Special Presentations section of the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. Macy, Anna Kendrick, and Sam Worthington. In a large bowl or liquid measuring cup, stir together orange juice, milk, and vanilla extract. In a large bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. The remaining cast deserves praise as well, and all comes together really nicel. Cake is a 2014 American drama film directed by Daniel Barnz, written by Patrick Tobin, and starring Jennifer Aniston, Adriana Barraza, Felicity Huffman, William H. Generously grease and flour two 8- or 9-inch cake pan and line the bottoms with parchment paper. Small budget, great script, great direction and a solid, moving performance by Aniston (which led me to tears).
There are some minor "deviations" in the story which don't really add much to the realism of everything else, and it somewhat pulls you back from the emotional depth you had been immersed until then - but those are brief moments. After watching the movie,Sweet Home Alabama, it got me curious as to what a Bologna Cake was. There is humour as well, dark and quick, and it does not let you soak on it for too long. Much to Aniston's credit, it's her performance that grabs you, and the subtlety in how the story is revealed makes our understanding of what's happening to this broken body and soul both moving and endearing. The central story is very good and the big answers are withheld from us in such way that you keep trying and paying attention not to miss anything, because in this film, there is much beauty in the detail. I followed Claire with a mix of annoyance, empathy and curiosity, totally absorbed. It is someone new we are introduced to in the film, and well. The buzz about Jennifer Aniston is actually true - it takes very little time for Aniston to disappear on the screen (and after 15 years of daily Rachel, that in itself is a big achievement). An excellent film with an intriguing plot, delivered with a refreshingly down-to-earth storytelling.
