Joy is anchored by a strong performance from Jennifer Lawrence, although director David O. Russell's uncertain approach to its fascinating fact-based tale only sporadically sparks bursts of the titular emotion. Read critic reviews

Aug 24, 2017It takes a special kind of director to tell the story of a single mom trying to sell a mop that she has invented and make it anywhere close to compelling, and David O Russell is a that special kind of director. This is the third time he has teamed with Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper, and I hope it happens 15 more. Great use of Music, especially Buffalo Springfield's dreaming to fly during an emotional funeral scene. The film that is both uplifting in Joy's perseverance and dispiriting in the stonewalling obstacles that an ordinary person with an idea has to overcome to succeed.Doctor S Super Reviewer

Feb 21, 2017No matter how much this film tries to big itself up, it's still about a woman who re-invented the mop.Marcus W Super Reviewer

Jun 08, 2016I am a sucker for the under dog story and this film is definitely about an underdog. David O. Russell takes a unconventional and moody approach in telling the life story of Joy Magnello. But, Lawrence gets her best role since Winter's Bone and hits it out of the park.SHe has great support from Madsen, Ladd, Ramirez, Cooper and Roehm. But, De Niro calls his performance in as her father and almost ruins the film. The film can be accused of too many flashbacks that can confuse the viewer but I was invested enough and was overall satisfied. 05-30-2016Christopher O Super Reviewer
