This dramatic comedy and Best Picture nominee tells the incredible true story of one mother’s search for her lost son, conceived out of wedlock in 1950s Ireland. Dame Judi Dench earned a Best Actress nod for her role as Philomena Lee, a devout mum on a 50-year quest. World-weary journalist Martin Sixsmith (Steve Coogan) is intrigued by her story and together they journey to America to find the boy. As each seek redemption, cultures and religions clash in this complicated tale of love and loss. D: Stephen Frears, UK, 2013, 98m
