It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Joy, the protagonist of the film carries the other characters when they can't make things work. She makes things work for all of them and us. This process is refreshingly unique in that she constantly thinks on her feet and resolves situations with surprising results. The suspense of the plot allows the audience to be involved in not only her journey but those of her family as well. Encouraging everyone to reach out for that special gift.

Movie Review: "Joy" (2015)Director David O. Russell pays his dues to actress Jennifer Lawrence in an actress leading screen story involving a young woman in her early 20s encountering the harsh world of business affairs from Massachusetts to Texas, USA before becoming a company owner eventually.Jennifer Lawrence spoiled by an early Academy Award for Best Actress in her role as Tiffany in "Silver Linings Playbook" (2012) plays with her self-reflected stardom, especially on the U.S. domestic market, in a X-mas 2015 releasing family drama comedy genre mix. The actress' three year in a row collaborating director of trust puts the actress in situation of struggle with surrounding family members as actress Virgina Madsen, giving the non-stop soap-opera indulging mother Terry, Robert De Niro, as new-love finding grandpa Rudy, meeting charming scenes with actress Isabella Rossellini. The ex-husband, performed by Edgar Ramírez a down-on-discipline musician, creating two children with Joy, who becomes over-powered by daily decision-making before finding her job calling at an local television broadcaster, meeting an all-to-fair playing character of Neil, portrayed by long-time collaborating acting colleague Bradley Cooper. The ensemble cast pushes through fully-owned picture by actress Jennifer Lawrence, who digs deeper into humorist sides with selling floor-cleaning sweeping mobs on a supermarket parking lot, shooting a shotgun in factory back-lots and fighting back on blueprint stealing competitors to come out as victor in unless diverting motion picture entertainment with nothing really to complain on.Nevertheless director David O. Russel keeps Jennifer Lawrence pampered in safe precaution acting beats, not letting his darling actress explore new grounds, blocking the character of Joy at no time for a real danger climatic confrontation; a circumstance that director Darren Aronofsky used for himself in the in-balanced received art-house film "mother!" (2017) due to a catastrophically-prepared female lead that the presumption becomes evident that Director Gary Ross has been Jennifer Lawrence only benefactor through years of a young acting career in casting her as Everdeen Katniss in the world-changing smash hit of 2012 "The Hunger Games".© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

The life story of the self-wringing-mop inventor. A story of a cool headed woman kept doing what she could in her messy life and messy family and beyond. I was broken hearted (seriously that bad) 4 times in watching this movie once. When u are really almost there and the world wards you, crushes you, grinds you, pulling you down hard..... The grandmother, oh I love her so much! She never lost, never stopped her faith on this granddaughter (not everyone has this kind of person in his/ her life I think). She just knew it, that this one girl would nail it someday, and be the family savior. And the best friend, oh! I love her so much too! Only a true best friend can really know how to help you like she did to the main character here!! And this tough movie is presented prettily. So blessed. IMDb rate of this today 28-Jun-2017 is 6.6, my rate is 9.9.

Joy is the story of the title character, who rose to become founder and matriarch of a powerful family business dynasty.I must admit I wasn't really interested in this film in the beginning the joy and trailer didn't make this film sound that interesting. I ended up finding a copy of it and decided to give it ago, I was so impressed with what I saw. David O. Russell has crafted a really fascinating and special film. It is a film about strength and perseverance fighting for what you want and never giving up until you get it. It really feels like a fairy tale, Joy's grandmother narrates the story, it reminded me of a Cinderella story or Wizard of OZ, it has a magical quality to it. It looks at how as children we have dreams of what we want to be or do when we grow up, then life happens and we forget what it was we original wanted. Everyone does a great job here, Jennifer Lawrence really carries the movie you really feel for her and the situations her family put her in. I feel she really deserved her Oscar Nomination for this role. I felt really inspired after watching this.
