"Toward the end of Netflix's Joy, the muffled cry of a newborn baby prompts a man and woman in a hospital to embrace out of pure bliss. They aren't the parents, but they had as much to do with the birth as the mom and dad."
"The Anglican church called it a sin, the newspapers labeled it Frankenstein-ish and other scientists warned of freak babies. 'You're aware they'll throw the book at us,' Nighy's Steptoe tells the team."
"Director Ben Taylor keeps the story small and intimate, a series of vignettes adding up to almost like a play. It features moments of quiet and polite bravery, and small conversations over a pint of ale."
"Joy is not all joy. There is frustration and loss and tears along the way, but it is a triumphant film about the way humans can make the world better and how a baby's cry can be a priceless gift."
