Review of Joy (2015)

By Sean O'connell (919) for CinemaBlend (829) on 08 Dec 2015

We mainly stay invested in Joy because Russell's current muse, the flat-out brilliant Jennifer Lawrence, delivers another multi-faceted performance…

Review of Joy (2015)

By Joanna Langfield (398) for The Movie Minute (398) on 08 Dec 2015

It's awfully hard for me to not find some joy in this imperfect movie about a daring woman who digs deep and soars. You got a problem with that…

Review of Joy (2015)

By David Sexton (322) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 08 Dec 2015

[Joy] proves bizarrely moving and involving, not just because it's another story of female empowerment but above all and quite simply because…

By Drew Mcweeny (622) for Hitfix (861) on 08 Dec 2015

While [Lawrence] does robust, heartfelt work in the lead in his new film Joy, this is the most miscast she's been in a while, and it's such…

Review of Joy (2015)

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for TheWrap (3,203) on 07 Dec 2015

This is a rare misstep for Russell, who in the past has sold us on all kinds of stories, whether they’re as indescribable as “I Heart Huckabee’s”…

Review of Joy (2015)

Review of Joy (2015)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for The Telegraph (1,120) on 07 Dec 2015

Since Joy is a David O. Russell film, the presence of a) Lawrence and b) bizarre, fizz-popping explosions of catharsis are to be expected…
