Netflix has released the first trailer for its upcoming dramaJoy. The film is based on thetrue story of Louise Joy Brown, the first “test-tube baby,”and will aim to tell the story of the pioneers who made it happen. Directed by Ben Taylor, the film boasts an impressive cast that includesThomasin McKenzie(The Power of the Dog) as Jean Purdy, James Norton (Black Mirror) as Robert Edwards, and Oscar-nominated actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually) as Patrick Steptoe. The movie is directed by Ben Taylor, with Jack Thorne as the screenwriter.
Now,Netflixhas released the trailer forJoy. The trailer offers glimpses of an incredible journey and advancement in science, as McKenzie’s Jean teams up with Robert and Patrick to make their dreams and the wishes of their patients come true.The heart of the story, however, seems to be Jean, as she has one of the best quotes in the trailer, saying, “Women presume we can have children. There is a biological and social expectation. Nothing can make that absence worse. But we have the possibility of making it better.” Check out the full trailer below:
Why Netflix’s New Joy Movie Is Very Important & Inspiring
JoyShows The Challenges In Researching IVF.
One in six individuals experience infertility worldwide. A moment in the trailer speaks to this number, where a man says that infertility only affects a small number of women. Jean replies to the dismissive statement with incredulity.Throughout the trailer, there are many moments ofJean fighting for the voice of those who have difficulty conceiving children, teasing a heartfelt, important story told withinJoy. Her involvement is even more crucial as she appears to be the only female researcher on the team.

Dolby Atmos helped turn these already great movies into cinematic experiences that you can’t miss, and these are the best Netflix movies for it.
While no public record states that Jean Purdy herself had any personal experience with infertility, her desire to help couples having trouble with conception is admirable and inspiring, hinting that she has a personal connection to the topic. This admiration doubles when consideringthe opposition she, Robert, and Patrick face as they do their research, facing backlash from concerned citizens who dub Robert as amodern Dr. Frankenstein, and with Jean facing the lack of support from her own mother.
Our Take On The Joy Trailer
There Are Hopes Of It Becoming A Good Netflix Movie.
Netflix films are either a hit or miss, ranging from spectacular films likeSociety of the Snow, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs,andGuillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio— all of them received Oscar nominations — to movies that become easily forgotten and lost in the shuffle of the convoluted stock of streamer flicks. It’simpossible to tell which categoryJoywill fall into with just one trailer. But, considering how important the story is and the likability of its hardworking characters, I hope thatthe 2024 Netflix movieat least makes waves upon its release and serve as a worthy exhibition of its cast’s talent, especially McKenzie.
