Jennifer Lawrence stars as Joy Mangano, the woman who invented the self-wringing Miracle Mop in the early 1990s. In this "semi-biographical" film she plays the role well, you absolutely buy her desperation, her hustle, hustle, hustle to get the thing off the ground. Pardon the pun.
But there's a lot going on around her that didn't really support the story and arguably detracted from it.
I liked this but didn't love it. I concur with this three star review in The Guardian Australia.
