Unexpected Gem

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2020)

I haven't watched a movie that Jennifer Lawrence stars in in a good while and I was pleasantly surprised while watching Joy because she was phenomenal in this. Going in, I had no idea who this movie was based on but at the end of it, I did a quick Google search and I can't believe she actually made it, despite all the internal and external challenges that she faced. It was empowering to see her achieve success after being set back so many times and with minimal support.
