Philomena, don't waffle just go

Posted by PhilJ on December 24, 2013 at 13:04:36:
from the Rotten Tomatoes website:

Based on the 2009 investigative book by BBC correspondent Martin Sixsmith, The Lost Child of Philomena Lee, PHILOMENA focuses on the efforts of Philomena Lee (Dench), mother to a boy conceived out of wedlock - something her Irish-Catholic community didn't have the highest opinion of - and given away for adoption in the United States.

Judi Dench gives this simple woman resonance, Steve Coogan curbs his smarmy cynical side and is useful to Philomena. The story goes in a different direction than you may guess and is handled nicely.

To call this film a gem is not quite enough.

and to think I almost went to Anchorman II!

go and enjoy
