6. JOY 2015
Quality: * * * * Acceptability: -1
JOY is a delightful movie about one woman trying to use her God-given talents to fulfill her dreams and meet her family responsibilities. Using a funky wardrobe and a great pop soundtrack, Writer/Director David O. Russell creates his most appealing movie yet, using his chosen cast of Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. JOY has a very strong moral, pro-capitalist worldview with strong Christian references. As such, it’s one of the best movies to open recently during Christmas. That said, JOY warrants caution because of brief foul language and some dysfunctional behavior.
