Joy (2015)6.9 /10

Storyline:  Joy, a single mother from Long Island, becomes one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country. The film chronicles her life over the years, how she takes the reins not only of her business, but also of her family, while dealing with close adversaries and herself. A captivating and effective comedy-drama, at times an acid melodrama and at others a madcap comedy, with an outstanding performance by Jennifer Lawrence. For the universe of biopics, this is a film not to be missed.
