- TriviaJoan Rivers is portrayed in this film by her real-life daughter Melissa Rivers. Director David O. Russell asked Melissa for input on dialogue written for her mother, particularly in the scene where she gives Joy clothing feedback.
- GoofsQVC is said to be in Lancaster, PA, and Amish buggy drivers are shown on a winding back road. It's actually in West Chester, just outside Philadelphia.
- Crazy creditsThe 20th Century Fox fanfare is shortened for the first half, in order to have the bells taking over it for the second half. Like in The Maze Runner (2014), it cuts to black. The opening theme starts playing over the following Annapurna Pictures and Davis Entertainment logos.

Featured review
More than I was expecting
I was not drawn to Joy when it was first released because it just looked like a made for TV movie. I was surprised when Jennifer Lawrence was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance and still had no real desire to see Joy. Joy popped up on my new releases list on Apple TV today so I thought I would just watch the first 10 minutes to get an idea whether it would be watching or not. After 10 minutes I knew this was worth watching so my husband and I watched it and to both of our surprise we really liked it. Jennifer Lawrence was outstanding in her role as Joy. I've always thought Lawrence was an amazing actress since I saw her in Winter's Bone. She is the real deal. She is destined for more success with each film she is in. DeNiro is amazing as always. It is a wonderful story that should have received better reviews. I can understand why it wasn't a box office hit but it is definitely worth watching.
