Wife and I Saw "Joy" (no spoilers)

Really good, but you have to like this sort of movie. Pace is slow. Takes a long time to develop the characters and story. But, it's a really good story, the acting is superb, and there are elements that take you to despair and others that lift you to the stratosphere.

If you like character studies and storytelling, you should see it.

I'm an action movie guy too. But, if that is REALLY your cup of tea, you probably won't like it.

If you are into Russell movies, i think you'll really like it.
