A Winner

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2016)

Director David O. Russell continues his streak of movies which are worth the experience. I got the general impression the true life story of Joy Mangano was probably crazier than what is depicted here. Although, there is no shortage of faint and rude souls around the main character done beautifully by Jennifer Lawrence. She shines as young girl and woman who rarely lets anyone tell her what to do. In life it seems people generally aren't supportive about new ideas and certainly family can be the worst. This story rings true because it's not simply about the glory but it's about character when issues arise. The cast here is excellent as Russell clearly loves DeNiro, Lawrence and Cooper and this movie will inspire anyone who has a passion to make their ideas come true.
