Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJoan Rivers is portrayed in this film by her real-life daughter Melissa Rivers. Director David O. Russell asked Melissa for input on dialogue written for her mother, particularly in the scene where she gives Joy clothing feedback.
- GoofsQVC is said to be in Lancaster, PA, and Amish buggy drivers are shown on a winding back road. It's actually in West Chester, just outside Philadelphia.
- Crazy creditsThe 20th Century Fox fanfare is shortened for the first half, in order to have the bells taking over it for the second half. Like in The Maze Runner (2014), it cuts to black. The opening theme starts playing over the following Annapurna Pictures and Davis Entertainment logos.

Featured review
Inspirational and invigorating
I confess an approach with a negative a priori. Having not really enjoyed Happiness Therapy (David O. Russell, 2012), I feared a film gathering the same director with the same main actors. And I was definitely wrong! First, Jennifer Lawrence plays admirably, and is excellently assisted by Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper, Edgar Ramirez, Diane Ladd, Virginia Madsen and Isabella Rossellini. This film is also a fabulous and inspirational advocacy to an escape attempt from a disadvantaged environment filled with zombies (the mother Terry in particular, and the father Rudy to a lesser extent) thanks to an obstinacy skilfully measured out and the wise help of her former husband Tony. This movie is invigorating!
