Movie Reviews #46 - Joy (2015)

Plot: A single mother invents a new type of mop and struggles to get it out into the world.

Review: its Oscar season, so time to watch some critically acclaimed movies. Joy is from David O Russell and as such has the usual cast that’s been following him the last few movies (Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Robert DeNiro). The story itself in this movie is a decent one, but I feel like the real life story of the main character would be a more interesting one. The movie falls just short of reaching that emotional point where you're totally invested. It’s not that it’s bad, but I feel it could have been better. It’s worth watching if you’re in Oscar season mode, but it won’t blow you away or be one of your best movie nominees.


Score: 6.5/10
