Joy

I thought this was a boring film, though the script hoped that the weird family dynamics would earn it some interest from the viewing audience.

I felt Jennifer Lawrence needed to be another 5-10 years older for this particular story. The story chugs along with many obstacles for her character to be slapped in the face with, and each times she somehow manages to overcome the obstacles, it feels more and more like fiction, and not really based on a real life story. So I was losing investment in this tale as the film rolled on.

I give it 2.5 stars, or a grade of C+.
