Wow! Such a good movie.
Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
This movie is probably one of the worst movies of the year. First of all Jennifer Lawrence was totally miscast, she is too young to play this part. The writing was awful. I know it's based on a true story but oddly enough the story line makes no sense at all. In other words it's a very bad movie.
I really enjoyed this movie Im not one for Lawrence but i am starting to like her for a good actress. Good inspirational story to reach for your passion against all odds :-)
I'll just try to be simple and clear.Jennifer Lawrence did an outstanding job in her leading role, once again. But it's definitely hard to say the same thing for the movie itself.I think it has the right and perfect idea to film but it's is mediocre that even an actor like Robert De Niro seems to be extinguished.If you're either a Jennifer Lawrence fan or you just like her acting, you should watch it. Otherwise, there's no need to waste your time.
I was not drawn to Joy when it was first released because it just looked like a made for TV movie. I was surprised when Jennifer Lawrence was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance and still had no real desire to see Joy. Joy popped up on my new releases list on Apple TV today so I thought I would just watch the first 10 minutes to get an idea whether it would be watching or not. After 10 minutes I knew this was worth watching so my husband and I watched it and to both of our surprise we really liked it. Jennifer Lawrence was outstanding in her role as Joy. I've always thought Lawrence was an amazing actress since I saw her in Winter's Bone. She is the real deal. She is destined for more success with each film she is in. DeNiro is amazing as always. It is a wonderful story that should have received better reviews. I can understand why it wasn't a box office hit but it is definitely worth watching.
