The new Erin Brocovich!

Rating: Null/10 (22 December 2015)

This film tells the remarkable story of a woman who endured much hardship in her life, giving up her dreams in the process. She works hard to turn things around, but things don't turn out as hoped.
"Joy" is such a remarkable film. It's inspirational to see a young woman fighting against all odds, while being super resilient along the way. The story is so engaging because right from the beginning, we see Joy being faced with adversities, but she still stands up against the harsh world. Suspense is well built, especially the scene where Joy gets a phone call and has to rush back to the house. I find myself holding my breath, counting who is missing from the screen and trying to guess what happened. Joy has that quality that make viewers care about her, and every bit of me wants her to succeed. This is easily one of the best inspirational film since "Erin Brocovich".
