A biographical drama seen from a female point of view that also aims to be educational. With a masterful production design that represents the spirit of the times and a classic voice-over structure, it explains that this story is based on true events and is narrated by nurse Jean Purly, who is vindicated by a wonderful Thomasin McKenzie from Jojo Rabbit.
The screenplay for this story is based on the story of ‘Emma Gordon’ and ‘Shaun Topp’ but for this film Rachel Mason and Jack Thorne have worked on the script, both of whom have some experience in screenwriting, but I think overall the script works much better because of the story itself and I think they should have taken a bit more risk in this area.

The drama begins in 1968 in Cambridge (UK) where a medical team of Robert Edwards and Patrick Steptoe try to fertilise hamster eggs outside their bodies so that they can develop their pregnancy inside.
The success of this project leads them to do it on women who cannot get pregnant. And they will be radically opposed by the Church, conservative university opinion, or the Government.
Jean Purly has a great role, she is rejected by her mother and by some of her friends because they see that it goes against the laws of God and nature, and her suffering because she could not have children, and she saw how her patients started to get pregnant. I also loved Bill Nighy's warm, human role as a level-headed doctor who realises what a positive contribution he was making to women.
The setting and in general the costumes used for this film are in keeping with the era in which the real events took place, I think they have done a great job, as this type of film is very necessary to do a very good job in this section.
The music has some very well known themes of the time, but I think that some tracks do not stand out much in the moments that you need ambient music, but when you need the dialogue to stand out the volume is lowered to prioritise the dialogue.
Ben Taylor is in charge of directing this good film and in which he presents us with a directing job that despite not being anything special, I think it does its job of introducing this story to the viewer in a simple way that entertains the viewer.
A good film and a good memory for these three pioneers in this technique that to date has made many people become fathers and mothers.
