Top Critics Reviews

It's clear that the point here isn't people, it's payoff, emotional and otherwise.

Joy can be viewed as a modern day rags-to-riches fairytale. It's Cinderella without the prince. In a way, that's part of the film's charm.

Two years after Jennifer Lawrence appeared in David O. Russell's American Hustle, she gets to show some.

rotten:
Russell is almost totally uninterested in the story of how Joy Mangano explored a bizarre and unknown new business model and became its first self-made tycoon, and as a result we aren't interested either.

The movie's a shambles, alternatingly agreeable and aggravating, held together by our interest in its heroine and by Lawrence's tremendously sympathetic performance.
