Review of Philomena (2013) by Wayne K — 03 Mar 2017
Long ago, I decided I would investigate any movie I came across which featured Dame Judi. I had no prior knowledge of the film or the real people behind it. Because I attended a Catholic college, I am familiar with the Church and had spent my share of time with guilt-ridden Catholic girlfriends.
However, that experience did nothing to prepare me for the power of the storyline nor the impact this heart-wrenching tale would have on me. Dame Judi delivers an outstanding portrayal of a strong, wise and loving woman with whom I related immediately.
Her performance brought the story to life -- I laughed, cried and got so angry I had to stop the film to stomp around. Watch this and keep the Kleenex near! It's a Girl Cry Movie for grown-up, thinking girls (and even boys).
