Gave a lot of room for thought regarding people's emotions.
JOY is the wild story of a family across four generations centered on the girl who becomes the woman who founds a business dynasty and becomes a matriarch in her own right. Betrayal, treachery, the loss of innocence and the scars of love, pave the road in this intense emotional and human comedy about becoming a true boss of family and enterprise facing a world of unforgiving commerce. Allies become adversaries and adversaries become allies, both inside and outside the family, as Joys inner life and fierce imagination carry her through the storm she faces. Like David O. Russells previous films, Joy defies genre to tell a story of family, loyalty, and love.
Reviews
“Joy can be viewed as a modern day rags-to-riches fairytale. It's Cinderella without the prince. In a way, that's part of the film's charm.” – Reelviews
“If "Joy” seems to move toward a foreordained conclusion, it zigzags and covers its tracks along the way, sending its heroine on a roller-coaster ride of raised hopes and brutal disappointments and playing tricks with the audience's expectations." – New York Times
“As we follow Joy's frustrating journey, the dependably wonderful Lawrence delivers each scene like a champ. She portrays every feeling written into the script – and a lot more – with dramatic intelligence and force.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune
