Philomena- A wonderfully thoughtful movie!

To end 2013, I went to see the movie Philomena. I found the story line extremely sad, “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,” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2431286/, 2013). Directed by Stephen Frears, staring Judi Dench, and Steve Coogan, this isn’t only a story about love, but also about never getting up on what you believe in and what you choose to accomplish, even if it seems far out there.


The music in the movie was very faint, not to distract or take away from any of the storyline. However, it did create an appropriate atmosphere through the duration of the film.

 

This isn’t for everyone, some scenes can be very upsetting, but the trailer is below.
