  Review by Evan ★★★★ 3

  This movie is about the invention of a mop. Sounds boring right? Nope. David O. Russell and Jennifer Lawrence manages to make a story about the invention of a mop super engrossing and fun.

  A lot of people are disliking Joy and I'm sitting here trying to figure out why. Like Steve Jobs and Straight Outta Compton, Joy isn't your typical biopic. It's energetic, fun, and has a whole lotta heart. Jennifer Lawrence was absolutely fantastic. Her second best performance to date; her best being Silver Linings Playbook. The ensemble cast is great. Even though Cooper and DeNiro don't get a whole lot of screen time, they make the most out of it. Both were excellent.

  Sure the film is…

  Joy is so messy not even her damn mop can clean it up. A total bore that takes away everything that makes David O. Russell's films stand out in the first place and replaces these elements with a cliched, Lifetime Channel movie plot and caricatures.

  If you couldn't tell, I didn't like this movie.

  Rarely have I felt so
  indifferent towards a film.
  Rating may rise or
  drop upon re-watch but,
  as of right now, I have
  nothing but apathy for Joy.

Every scene beautifully chaotic. this was not what I expected in any way shape of form, couldn’t have predicted a thing about it. I loved this!!!!! What! Maybe it’s just me but!! very good movie to me!

  *eyes narrow*
  I'm very suspicious of anyone who thinks this is a good movie. I assume all the positive reviews are David O. Russell alt accounts.

  If this didn't have famous people in it my mom would be watching it on premium cable thursday night.

  I'd let JLaw mop me tho.

  How can life be nothing but Joy when it is so complicated with all its aspects.

  A direct leap into the American Dream from a woman's perspective, adorned by Lawrence's excellent acting. The film is a very disjointed experience; it feels quite sluggish to watch, as it could have been made much more straightforward for me to enjoy it.

  But when I think about it more, I realize that it has a good reason for being the way it is. It reflects Joy's mental state in a really interesting way. Like fantasy, like a dream. An emotional battle within her mind. She wants to put herself together as a person, and that's why it might actually be good. Weirdly fast…
