My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Joy (2015)

Jennifer Lawrence is a superstar and you can see why director/writer David O. Russell would want to work with her again.  This role seemed to be tailor-fitted for her.  It’s the story of Miracle Mop inventor and Home Shopping Network queen Joy Mangano.  It’s a really inspiring, well-told story and Lawrence delivers, again, another Oscar worth performance.   I’m sure Russell took some liberties with the actual history but I’m fine with it because I enjoyed every minute of her story.   I highly recommend this one and assume we’ll see it in the hunt for some awards this year.  Grade: A-
