Very well written and directed film,on a sad subject.Would recommend to all.
As always, Judy Dench is fantastic along with Steve Coogan. Never lost interest in the movie – it flowed from start to finish – absorbed all the way. Based on a true story.
A very good movie to watch. Very good that Philomena was able to search for her son and then find out he had been trying to find her. The powers that be have a lot to answer for. Judy dench played her role so well. Amazing Lady.
Philomena
Philomena is a British 2013 drama movie presented on DVD.
Philomena is the true story of one mother's search for her lost son. Falling pregnant as a teenager in Ireland in 1952, Philomena Lee was sent to the convent of Roscrea to be looked after as a “fallen woman”. When her baby was only a toddler, he was whisked away by the nuns to America for adoption. Philomena (Judi Dench) spent the next fifty years searching for him in vain. Then she met Martin Sixsmith, a world-weary journalist as cynical as Philomena was trusting. Together they set off for America on a journey that would not only reveal the extraordinary story of Philomena's son, but also the powerful bond that grew between Philomena and Martin.
Based on Sixsmith's acclaimed book “The Lost Child of Philomena Lee: A Mother, Her Son and a Fifty-Year Search”, the film is a bitter-sweet drama, a compelling narrative of human love and loss and ultimately a celebration of life. Judi Dench's phenomenal lead performance has “Oscar” written all over it.
