— Critical consensus, summarised
David O. Russell's biopic of Joy Mangano — the divorced single mother who invented the Miracle Mop and built a QVC empire from a kitchen prototype. Critics split on the structure (a fable-as-biopic conceit some found contrived) but Jennifer Lawrence's lead performance carried it to her fourth Oscar nomination. The QVC pivot scene is the centerpiece — a small-business movie disguised as a star vehicle.
