"Joy," a film starring James Norton, Thomasin McKenzie, and Bill Nighy, premiered at the BFI London Film Festival, depicting the pioneering work behind in vitro fertilization (IVF) through nurse Jean Purdy's perspective. While the film highlights the emotional journey of IVF's development from 1968-1978, critics argue it adopts a too lighthearted tone, diminishing the gravity of infertility challenges.
