After losing his job as a Labour Party adviser, English journalist Martin Sixsmith is lost and doesn't know what to do: neither resuming his book about Russian History nor writing about human interests' stories are attractive options. One day he meets Philomena Lee's daughter and she tells him about her mother, a sixty year-old lady who is looking for her son, given in adoption 50 years ago by the nuns of an Irish convent. Although he is not interested in the story, an editorial is willing to publish it. From now on Martin and Philomena will start a journey to find out what happened with that boy.
It's a tough yet beautiful story, specially for the bond that grows between the leading characters, both from very different backgrounds and life stories almost opposite. I admired Philomena's faith the most: despite all odds she shows all the time that she believes in church and in the kindness of people (I wouldn't, for sure)
You will love this movie.
