JOY (2015)
If I couldn't figure out why Jennifer Lawrence is the highest paid actor before, now I know why. Just watch JOY and you would probably agree with me.

A story of a family across four generations, centered on the girl who becomes the woman (Jennifer Lawrence) who founds a business dynasty and becomes a matriarch in her own right.
