"Watched: January 24, 2020. Director: Stephen Frears Starring: Judi Dench as Philomena Steeve Coogan as Martin Sixsmith Very touching real life story. Judi Dench is great and heartbreaking as Philomena, desperately looking for her estranged son. I liked the chemistry between Coogan and Dench. The scenery is beautiful as well, especially Ireland. Great film! My rating: 8/10"

“well so i see philomena and i think is good and I think it's a solid drama

a great acting by judi dench and steve coogan good directing and great music by alexandre desplat I leave with the desire to read the book but realistically never finish it

one thing that I liked besides well adapted it's in itself it makes me feel like it's an original story

the music is good but there is something bad

I did not feel it in the whole movie and you have to listen to it after the movie

I think it was a nice experience in itself and recommended

"First viewing - Aug. 11th This was among the recommendations for last year's Netflix project, so I want to give a shout out to VierasTalo for recommending it. I enjoyed this more than I expected to, mainly because of the interactions between the two leads. The story is fairly simple yet I enjoyed the ways it played out plus that it's based on true events. I didn't think it was great, but I'd be willing to watch it again at some point. Currently streaming on Netflix"

A good movie

“Since I kept hearing some pretty good things about this movie (it was even nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award in 2014), I thought I should check it out. Eventually, I thought it was a decent drama but I can’t say it really blew me away. I don’t know, maybe I have seen already too many movies dealing with this subject such as ‘The Magdalene Sisters’. Furthermore, the whole confrontation with Sister Hildegarde at the end was also rather weak (and, obviously, it never happened for real) and it shift the focus from the Irish Catholic church to a single individual which was a rather misguided choice. Eventually, what really made this movie work was the interesting relationship between Judi Dench’s and Steve Coogan’s characters thanks to some solid performances from both ac” read more
