Jennifer Lawrence renuites with director David O. Russell for the third time. And Bradley Cooper for the fourth time. Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper are a dream-team in this inspirational motion picture.
O. Russell did an okay job at trying to interpret Joy Mangano's story. By stating the fact, the film is only biased. Just facts only approached. But Lawrence's performance is a job well done. Highly praisable. The other cast did well to. Robert DiNiro plays her dad in the film. His preformance as a divorcee, single man is also cause for praise. He gives a sense of connection with Lawrence's role.
The sets are good in the sense of the time period in which is the early 70's and through the 80's East Coast. But, the special effects in which fake snow is used that makes a cause for bad.
Based on the real life story of a girl would become a multi-million dollar selling inventor. "Joy" tells the story behind how it all started. Overall, Joy is a tale of Triumph, Loss, and Perseverance.
