Joy Reviews
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The movie's a shambles, alternatingly agreeable and aggravating, held together by our interest in its heroine and by Lawrence's tremendously sympathetic performance.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
It's clear that the point here isn't people, it's payoff, emotional and otherwise.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
I am a huge Jennifer Lawrence fan -- I think she is an intuitive and smart actress -- and it's great that she's been given a part this meaty to sink her teeth into. And I get why Russell cast her... But boy oh boy, is she miscast.
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
Oh Mr. Russell, you're nothing if not predictable.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
Joy's "inspired by" story doesn't bore and yet there's not much to cheer about...
Vox
Emily St. James
Thick with potential and irony, and could make for a tremendous film. When Joy embraces that side of itself, it almost gets there. When it doesn't, well, it's just plain bad.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
I love the expedition that this wonderfully complex heroine is on, watching her use her intelligence to get what she wants out of life is gloriously gratifying.
Bitch Media
Manuel Betancourt
Joy pursues a number of ill-fitting narrative detours that detract from the fascinating story that should be at the core of the movie. While I was rooting for the film-and for Joy herself - ultimately it felt like the film missed a key opportunity.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
It's a messy script, even by Russell's own lax standards; characters disappear for huge swaths of the narrative, story strands don't pay off, and big emotional beats are so overcooked they smoke up the screen.
Film Comment Magazine
Nicolas Rapold
All the usual fun Russell crossfire is here, however, with people speaking their kooky minds and getting in each other's business.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
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.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
Joy is for the most part a bewildering mess-possibly because its four credited editors are a sign of structural problems, possibly just because Russell throws too much directorial dash at us when he should be making things simple.
Us Weekly
Mara Reinstein
Two years after Jennifer Lawrence appeared in David O. Russell's American Hustle, she gets to show some.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Lawrence is a joy, but the movie, sadly, isn't.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
The movie lurches from event to event, and tone to tone, without articulating a reason to exist.
Detroit News
Tom Long
It's all about Joy overcoming obstacles on her way to the American Dream and Lawrence imbues her with strength and resolve. The result is joyous indeed.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
If "Joy" seems to move toward a foreordained conclusion, it zigzags and covers its tracks along the way, sending its heroine on a roller-coaster ride of raised hopes and brutal disappointments and playing tricks with the audience's expectations.
Movie Mezzanine
Tomris Laffly
This might just be the first David O. Russell film that I love.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Lawrence is radiant but the movie fails to make a sale.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Lawrence ... thrives here, but even her skill and determination can't stabilize a film that goes off in any number of directions and rarely feels confident about the kind of story it wants to be telling.
