FILM REVIEW- 'Joy'

Joy- David O. Russel (2015)




A true story about Joy Mangano, a single mother of two whose invention of the self-wringing 'Miracle Mop' helped make her a millionaire 50 times over.
This being the third film the Jennifer Lawrence and director David O. Russell have done together, the firsts being 'Silver Linings Play Book' and 'American Hustle', as a viewer you come to expect the dry humor and slightly unconventional tone and story lines of the films.
Lawrence gives a strong performances, that captures the the heart warming, and difficult rage of emotions of the character she plays, however I personally think that that it is the least captivating character of the three she has played under David O. Russell's direction.
overall i enjoyed the film, however there where some point where the story line dragged on, however Lawrence performance was strong and worthy of the Best actress nomination by the Oscars.
