Review of Philomena (2013) by Tom H — 14 Apr 2014
Philomena's story is one of mystery but also one that runs much deeper and more profound than that. It's truly a story of a journey towards understanding, acceptance, and closure. It's about an unlikely bond between two people in the physical realm and a mother's search for a bond with the child she barely knew.
It's a much more compelling film as a personal journey rather than a straight mystery. Quality but unobtrusive direction and effortless performances give shape to one of the year's must-see films.
