Review of Joy (2015) by Lawrence Toppman for Charlotte Observer — 02 Jan 2016
The 25-year-old Lawrence is too young – Mangano was 35 when the mop took off – but compelling to watch. Yet in “Silver Linings Playbook,” Cooper, De Niro and Russell all supported her with fine work; here they lie back and make the movie a one-ring circus where she has to be acrobat, bareback rider and clown.
That’s too much to ask.
