Review of Joy (2015) by Healingtoolbox1 — 18 Jun 2016

Except for the one 100 professional review, I'm amazed at the other pro reviews. Wha' hoppen??? This is the most beliveable story of feminine self-empowerment based on character within my memory. This is the most emotionally layered movie since Silver Linings Playbook in my memory and this is better, as other reviewers suggest. These are two or three of the best-written female roles in years.

Hmm I notice 95% of the professional reviewers are male. Not all the female reviewers praised it tho. One did: Lawrence is gritty, real and totally genuine. And, after ‘Brooklyn’ and ‘Carol’, here’s another film that passes the Bechdel Test for [authentic] female characters with flying colours.
