Four Thumbs Up

                All in all, I believe that Philomena is an excellent film. Anyone who can appreciate a well written drama will leave this movie with a smile on their face and something to think about, anyone looking for action or intensity however, should probably look elsewhere for their entertainment. Judi Dench plays her role as Philomena with the perfect blend of unassuming old lady and woman on a mission. Steve Coogan also does a great job playing a taciturn journalist while he simultaneously acts as a screenwriter and producer for the film. The journalist Michael Smith and I are in complete agreement when he says that “Philomena is a marvelous little movie, a heartwarming drama with plenty of comedic pathos.”
