Review of Philomena (2013) by Sgt. C — 04 Apr 2014
(78%).
It says a lot about a film that is not really ones cup of tea (I like my action movies) and yet still manages to be enjoyable because it is just so well put together, this is one of those. Dench is so sublime that she'll win every award going, so much so that she won't have room for them all, Coogan is faultless and the writing is a master class in well observed dialogue and characterisation. I loved the comedic wit that kept the story from getting bogged down as well as the quite quick pace that never hung around the same location for too long. An unmistakably good film.
