Review of Joy (2015) by Courtney A — 29 Jan 2016
David O. Russell's infatuation and use of the Jennifer Lawrence/Bradley Cooper/Robert De Niro collaboration has led to tremendous praise in the past, so it is a bit disheartening to watch the fairly uninspiring Joy for the first time.
As the titular character Lawrence is great as usual, but this is in no way the best Russell could have done with the supporting cast. Joy is a pretty good movie in its own right but there's too much up and down without warning to consider it one of the best of 2015.
