Philomena (12A)
Directed by Stephen Frears
Five stars
Be prepared to laugh, cry and be equally outraged by this compelling story about loss, faith, redemption and the scandalous abuses perpetrated by the Catholic church.
The film is inspired by the true tale of Irishwoman Philomena Lee (Judi Dench) who, in her seventies, enlisted the help of former BBC foreign correspondent Martin Sixsmith to find her son Anthony.
