Irish comedy-drama film Joyride – not to be confused with the raucous 2023 American road movie Joy Ride – has gone down a storm with Netflix subscribers since landing on the streamer at the beginning of the month.
Originally released in cinemas in 2022, it stars Olivia Colman as Joy, a solicitor who is ready to give up her newborn baby until she finds herself having her taxi stolen by 12-year-old street urchin Mully (Charlie Reid).
That pair end up striking up an unlikely bond as they take a road trip together across Country Kerry, leading to some emotional moments in the home stretch.
One thing that has stood out to viewers watching the film on Netflix is the use of music, with Ray Harman’s original score complemented by a range of well known hits – including a few sung by its stars.
Read on for a full list of the songs that feature in Joyride.
