Caution: This Might Contain Spoikers!
If you enjoy my blog, you may enjoy my facebook page!
This film is based off the book, The Lost Child of Philomena Lee, written by Martin Sixsmith. Political journalist Martin Sixsmith reluctantly decides to write an article about Philomena's search for her long lost son. Philomena lost her child after being sent to live in a coven.
This film was directed by Stephen Frears. Okay, this film is not made for heavy Catholic followers. In many ways it does express a darkened viewpoint of the religion's history. There are also some secondary political matters mentioned. There were some historical alterations made to create a more dramatic story. Both characters are well established to express the creator's viewpoint and keep the film enjoyable. Although, the character of Sixsmith can be seen as cruel from time to time. However, the character of Philomena gives the film its warmth and compassion. As much as this story provides enriched hope it also provides some sadness. Steve Coogam played the role of Martin Sixsmith. Even though his character is dislikable, he gives the character the right amount of juice to be enjoyable. Judi Dench played the role of Philomena Lee. Her character is typical of the generation, but she is easily liked.
I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! It is a great emotional and inspirational story about family.
