Philomena is a nicely told story of a woman who’s son was taken from her in Ireland by nuns. During her 50 year search for him, she realizes anything could have happened. Judi Dench has done a beautiful job of portraying the saddened mother who didn’t give her son up without a fight. Steve Coogan played the journalist who helped her embark on this profound journey to find her son. The movie was interesting and held my attention, however I don’t think Philomena is exactly Best Picture material. I do love Judi Dench and felt she did a convincing portrayal. In comparison to the other 8 nominated movies, I don’t see a win for her. I also could have seen August: Osage County or The Butler nominated for Best Picture in place of Philomena. This is a “wait for the video” type of movie.
