Review of Philomena (2013) by Toby C — 08 Feb 2016

I had the pleasure of watching this movie last night. Although I was aware of it being a critical success, for some reason it had not attracted me( Like The impressive "Shawshank Redemption" the title gave little away, and the publicity shot of Judi Dench, just did little to invite my attention.

I wa so GLAD I took the time and trouble last night. The unsentimental moving story was hard to watch without a tear in my eye. The performances of Jude and Coogan( someone who I have not found an interesting performer in the past) wer excellent, the story engaging, and the whole thing well done, the usage of real footage of the son Michael was moving.

Well Worth anybody's time and money. Watch it!
