Matthew Quick's novel The Silver Linings Playbook was published by Picador in 2009. Wonderful little book that it is, it has now been made into the film Silver Linings Playbook. We at Picador haven't been able to move in London recently without hearing about the film starring Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro, so we're delighted that Matthew has offered up his thoughts on the films of 2012, and more besides.
