Plain plot, an underdog story

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2016)

Joy is a story about a mother/sister/daughter/granddaughter/an ex- wife's struggles of her life in inventing a mop.
Pretty much the plot.
This movie consists of very great actors. Jennifer Lawrence's performance is outstanding, as usual. For a plainly written movie, it was well-paced. Powerful messages throughout the story were executed properly. One problem was the characters, other than Joy, lack exposure and relevance. I didn't care about them, except Joy. Another problem was, there was no concrete relationship which leaves a lot of unanswered questions.
Although it was a very inspiring underdog story, it is still a good movie.
