The latest film from David O. Russell, Joy is the story of a family across four generations centered on the girl who becomes the woman who founds a business dynasty and becomes a matriarch in her own right. Betrayal, treachery, the loss of innocence and the scars of love pave the road in this intense emotional and human comedy about becoming a true boss of family and enterprise facing a world of unforgiving commerce. Allies become adversaries and adversaries become allies, both inside and outside the family, as Joy’s inner life and fierce imagination carry her through the storm she faces. A story of family, loyalty and love (recurring themes in Russell’s work), the film has a powerhouse performance from Lawrence at its centre.
Our 11:00 screening of Joy on Thu 21 Jan is a Baby Friendly Screening. More information on this type of screening can be found here.
