I tried to watch the movie with an open mind, watching interviews of the cast, etc. I was truly excited to see it...and then the performances by everyone and the direction was so stale. It's technically four generations - when she's ten years old but a child actor plays Joy at that age. :)Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287429151542133314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681829365024405949.post-2683747147238510592017-02-28T15:12:22.061-05:002017-02-28T15:12:22.061-05:00Thank you!

That's so unfortunate. I get less enthused about it every day. I try not to jump on the "Jennifer Lawrence is too young" bandwagon myself, because an actress like Scarlet Johansson for example was always playing roles where her character was much older when she was younger, but I didn't realize the film follows Joy through 30 years. Wow.<br /><br />great review!Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287429151542133314noreply@blogger.com
