Critic Reviews of "Philomena"
Globe and MailDecember 22, 2013What at first seems formulaic comedy gains a deeper resonance as we see how they represent two responses to cruelty and injustice -- first outrage, and with time, eventually, forgiveness.
Toronto StarNovember 28, 2013Even as Philomena embraces the expected feel-good dynamics, it avoids taking the usual path and doesn't paint all of the "evil" nuns with the same brush.
Associated PressNovember 27, 2013We wouldn't care about any of this if the performances were weak. But both actors find complexity and depth.
Washington PostNovember 27, 2013At its core, this clever, wrenching, profound story underscores the tenacity of faith in the face of unfathomable cruelty.
Chicago Sun-TimesNovember 27, 2013Director Steven Frears deserves special mention. A lesser filmmaker could so easily have turned this project into mushy, sentimental junk. The tear-jerking moments here are heartfelt and real. It's the kind of filmmaking we see too little of today.
Epoch TimesJune 02, 2016So preoccupied with score-settling, it is frankly rather embarrassing, like that obnoxious relative at Thanksgiving dinner who insists on revisiting each and every perceived slight.
Bitch MediaMay 10, 2016The movie is a bit of a puzzle coming from atheist co-writer Steve Coogan and the script grapples with these big questions of religion, class, and justice in a way that's far beyond the typical teary human-interest story.
AARP Movies for GrownupsApril 18, 2016Like Coogan's reporter, you'll want to wrap your arms around Judi Dench's Philomena and take her home. You can't, of course - but Philomena will follow you there anyway.
Ozus' World Movie ReviewsMarch 26, 2015Dench gives a superb performance as a simple, trusting woman of faith.
Windy City TimesJune 28, 2014Dench and Cooper could do this stuff in their sleep and keep us entertained, which they do, but it's the nuanced twists and turns in both the characters and the story that elevate the picture beyond the familiar.
Columbus AliveApril 23, 2014I'd be a grouch to call the two leads anything but delightful, and they both stretch in directions you mightn't expect.
