    Philomena

    Reviewed by

    This was a story that was deeply interesting to me on a personal level because I was adopted. While I had the good fortune to meet my own biological mother some thirty years ago now, and she too came out of that 1950s mentality where sex before marriage was frowned upon, I felt it was important to better understand what it must have been like. For my birth mother in that era. Thankfully because she was Canadian, she did not have to endure the humiliation of convent brow-beating experience. Still, it helped me connect a few of the emotional dots. Now I wonder if my birth mother will go out of her way to see the film. Each must decide for themselves on this score I think. Nonetheless, it certainly does teach the importance of caring and forgiveness.
