True to form, the film is filled with great, over-ripe performances.Full review

Washington Post
“Joy” is at its annoying worst when it’s clamoring to be antic, and at its brilliantly funny best when Joy and her adversaries are deadly serious about business as mortal combat. Full review

Wall Street Journal

Quotes
Joy: Don’t ever think that the world owes you anything, because it doesn’t. The world doesn’t owe you a thing.
Rudy: [Referring to his ex-wife] You know what you are? You’re like a gas leak. We don’t see, we don’t smell you, and your silently killing us all.
Young Joy: [Young Joy to Joy during a nightmare] When you’re hiding you’re safe, because people can’t see you. But funny thing about hiding: you’re even hidden from yourself.
Joy: [after Peggy attended her meeting without consent] Never speak, on my behalf, about my business, again.
Mimi: [about Tony & Joy] They were the best divorced couple in America. Much better friends than they were husband and wife.
Trudy: My late husband Morry – I met him in Milano for a trade show, for a swimwear line – used to say: sailing in the winter is the best comparison to life in the world of commerce.
Neil Walker: I guess you could say we’re friends in the commerce.
Joy: Friends in commerce. Yeah.
Neil Walker: So, let’s promise each other, that if one day, and that day may come, that we become adversaries in commerce, that we remain friends. That’s a true friendship, indeed.
Joy: Friends in commerce. I agree, let’s shake on it.
Mimi: [narrating] She’d put up with just about anything… until when she had to bring the hammer down – she brought the hammer down.
Joy: [at her mother’s deathbed] I so hated to leave her that day. I had so much I wanted to say to her… and to my great-granddaughter. I felt I wanted to stay near her and watch over her.
