Film reviews (no spoilers)

My cousin said I should watch Joy.

It is really supposed to be about Jean Purdy, who is the forgotten member of the team.
Documentaries will focus on the men, Jean only got her name on the plaque in 2015.

I know what you’re saying and I did recognise that this was what was good about the film. In this day and she however I can’t see that a documentary couldn’t be made with the focus upon her as much as it is upon the men.

But this is Netflix.

Will a documentary go into her unable to have children, the church banning her, her own mother cutting her off. The women who took part?

.....and I guess the fact that Jean died a long time ago and no doubt so have the women who took part in the initial trials have done too ,a film using actresses is the only way to do it, only just thought of that. I'd imagine there's plenty of footage of the guys involved in all this knocking around in the archives.
