Russell's directing and the relationship between Irving and Sydney, as well as Jennifer Lawrence's portrayal of Rosalyn. She writes: ``For all its brashness and big personality, American Hustle is a character study at its core--an exploration of dissatisfaction and drive, and the lengths to which we're willing to go for that elusive thing known as a better life.''
