Philomena (2014) Film Review

Every now and then when you come to do a film review not alot has to be said about a film. Actions speak louder than words essentially. If your looking to see a great 'true story' genre film, go see 'Philomena' starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan is the message here. Hopefully she will get an Oscar for this outstanding performance. The storyline is as follows: A world-weary political journalist picks up the story of a woman's search for her son, who was taken away from her decades ago after she became pregnant and was forced to live in a convent run by catholic nuns. This film is packed with great one liners that will leave you laughing and at other times wanting to shed a tear. With that sort of combination of dialogue , this movie needs nothing more to be said about it other than it deserves FIVE stars!!!
