Philomena is a great movie!

The last two I saw were okay, but this was really good - strong story, good script-writing, great actors and not depending on special effects or violence. Plus Judi Dench is one of my favorite actors! In short, she is an old woman who for more than 50 years wanted to see what happened to the son she had as a teen  that was taken away from her and adopted. I journalist helps her do much more than find him. Maybe too mild for those who prefer action movies, but it is great story-telling! Philomena
