Starring the fabulous Jennifer Lawrence and a whole cast of other amazing actors, it really is a story of never giving up, and being strong enough to take anything and everything that the world throws at you.
Unusually for me, it isn't a rom-com, and doesn't actually have any romance in it at all. It is about an incredibly intelligent divorced mum of two (Joy) in America, who has a messy family. But despite everything that she has to deal with, she cannot compress her creativity and has an idea for a product, that she then tries to turn into reality, while having huge financial difficulties and people constantly tearing her down.
My sister calls it a happy-sad film - just when you think everything is going right and its all good, something happens and everything goes wrong and she's back to square one once again.
I think the reason that I love this film so much is because I find it really really inspiring. I consider myself quite a creative person, and every time I finish watching it, I just want to write a blog, or do some sewing or just something that I can put all of my efforts into and create - it even makes me want to do homework! I also become very inspired by the perseverance, and strength of Joy, and it makes me just want to be like that, to be able to keep coming at things and keep trying over and over again.
I feel like this is going to be one of those movies that I watch over and over again when I need to be picked up or when I need a little burst of inspiration, it is absolutely perfect for that.
I would definitely recommend this movie. It is quite heavy in places, but don't let that put you off because it is just so inspiring, and it has actually impacted me!
Please let me know if you have seen it/ are going to see it, and what you think of it, and also leave some other movie suggestions for me in the comments!
See you soon!
