This is one of the biggest surprises I have seen recently and also features one of Jennifer Lawrence's best performances.

Rating: 9/10 (5 April 2016)

"She'd put up with just about anything, until when she had to bring the hammer down." Joy (Lawrence) is a single mother who is trying to take care of her daughter, reclusive mother, ex-husband and her father (De Niro) who has recently moved back in with her. Everyone wants a piece of her and her time which leaves nothing for herself. One day while cleaning Joy invents a new type of mop. She soon finds out that inventing was the easy part, and get rich quick ideas are not all that they seem. This was a movie I wasn't all that excited about watching. One of the main reasons was because I didn't see how a movie about the woman that invented the Miracle Mop could be interesting at all. I was very wrong. The movie is surprisingly tense and interesting and really makes you feel happiness, anger and worry throughout. To me that is the sign of a good movie, by the way it makes you feel. I was almost immediately sucked in and interested and entertained the entire time. This is one of the biggest surprises I have seen recently and I actually highly recommend this movie. Overall, one of the best movies of the year and no matter how you feel about it going it this is one you should watch. Also features one of Jennifer Lawrence's best performances. I very surprisingly give this an A.
