Philomena (2013)

£0.00


Country: GB/US/FR
Technical: col 98m
Director: Stephen Frears
Cast: Steve Coogan, Judi Dench, Anna Maxwell Martin

Synopsis:

TV reporter Martin Sixsmith is drawn into a human interest story concerning an Irish woman, whose illegitimate child was taken away from her by the sisters when she was a girl in their care.

Review:

Low-key but affecting personal drama with humorous asides; the stars underplay nicely, and the script avoids glib condemnation of the Catholic church via Sixsmith's outspoken agnosticism and its counterpart in Philomena.
