Joy

Sedate but uplifting Brit drama "Joy" is the true tale of how in the 1970s doctors Bob Edwards (James Norton) & Patrick Steptoe (Bill Nighy) with nurses Jean Purdy (Thomasin McKenzie) & Muriel Harris (Tanya Moodie) overcame significant societal resistance to master the science of IVF, resulting in 1978 in the world's first 'test tube baby' (of millions). The style & tone adopted by the experienced duo of director Ben Taylor & writer Jack Thorne is gentle, but it ultimately delivers strongly, thanks largely to the solid performances throughout (inc support from Joanna Scanlan, Simon Paisley-Day, & Nicholas Rowe). It's a good, noble, engaging, and interesting movie.
