Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper, and Jennifer Lawrence in Joy (2015)

FAQ

Joy

FAQ



    "If you call a movie Joy (2015) and tell the story of an entrepreneurial woman who invented a self-wringing mop, made waves at QVC and HSN, and turned her life around using her enterprising spirit, it sounds like you're making a biopic about Joy Mangano, the woman who actually did stand as the films primary inspiration. But Joy isn't just about Mangano; its a combination of her story mixed with the imagination of David O. Russell and his personal relationships with powerful and innovative women. This makes Joy something less than a biopic but more than a fabrication, a version of Manganos truth mixed with the exhaustive spirit of other successful figures." Read more here.
