Lars N Not exactly a thrillride, but rather a modestly told story showcasing that miracles are sometimes just the result of work and sacrifices made by tenacious hardworking everyday people. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review Martin A This really is a must see, the work that was undertaken was truly ground braking and our son would not be here without this work. The cast is fantastic and being centered around Jean is a master stroke of story telling ... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Jennifer P Jean Purdy, RN - I am completely moved by this interpretation of your nursing career. Credit to the director and writers for centering the film on her life story, you truly captured the essence of a passionate and smart woman who delivers the art of science. I am a Nurse and currently waiting to hear if my frozen embryo transfer was a success, many (possibly and most definitely hormonal) tears were shed throughout the film. Thank you to all the women who've come before me. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review D&G H A very moving look into the history of IVF treatment. A great film and take on an important moment in modern history. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Jo H I was recommended to watch Joy by a colleague, as an IVF mother my interest in watching was sincere and curious to learn how IVF came about. Sadly I felt the time I spent watching it was poorly invested. The character profiling was non existent, it really lacked the build up of the back stories of the people involved, felt very basic intro with no context to what was driving the people to do it. That handful of people literally changed the world, how could the makers be so wishy washy with not profiling what was pushing the individuals to do what they were doing? It seemed the technical aspects of the science behind it all was very glossed over too, a movie portraying such ground breaking discoveries should surely document the finer intricacies and key moments of discovery, instead it just showed moments looking through a microscope with no context. And what happened to showing us more about the early participants, their back stories, the struggles, the challenges and emotions they went through? It felt like the women actually going through it were being presented as just names and numbers on a list….as the story goes of those women didn’t take part there would be no story to tell….right? I can only hope there is a remake or another take on the story that will be released??? Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review David B My beautiful little girl was born through IVF after 5 years of disappointment, pain, tears and being told that we can never have children. She’s 7 years old now AND has a gorgeous 4 year old brother to play with too (who was natural, ironically). Chinese medicine, acupuncture, no sugar, no dairy, no gluten and the scientific help from the ARGC clinic in London made our dreams come true. This is one of the most moving films ever created. Took us right back to what we went through. All the ups and downs. Absolutely blew me away!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review Read all reviews
