Reviews
|
Empire -
A terrific, sophisticated comedy that tackles serious issues with a lightness of touch and a spirit of steel, Philomena is the British film to beat come BAFTA time.
|
|
Time -
Getting full comic effect from its class-comedy abrasions, Philomena rises to poignancy and profundity as Dench reveals her control of a character stained by the loss of her child and troubled by her suspicion.

The Playlist -
It's certainly a crowd-pleaser...and something close to a triumph, if not an unqualified one.
|
|
The Guardian -
Its main focus is the sparky, shifting relationship between its two protagonists and its trump card the startling chemistry between its two main stars.

|
The Telegraph -
This is a heartbreaking story – how could it not be? But Frears’ film breaks your heart and then repairs it.
