Joy

Rating: 9/10 (30 January 2016)

"Joy" is the perfect title for David O.Russell's latest film. It is an absolute knockout, uplifting and inspiring without being preachy, cheesy, or formulaic.
As the film begins, we meet the title character, a young woman struggling to take care of her two children while her ex-husband lives in the basement, her mother sits around and watches television all day, and her father comes to live with her as well while courting a new woman. She has always had a mind for inventing things, and one day, she comes up with the idea for a new kind of mop that no one has ever thought of before. The film continues to show the ups and downs of this new idea, showing how Joy struggles but powers on.
