Philomena(The Movie)

[Caribeing]

Philomena, on BBC 2 tonight at 9pm, I haven't seen this movie but looking forwarding to seeing it as know the story and reviews good! Rugby on ITV!!

[VHG]

Saw it on TV about 1 year ago.

Amazing film, very moving, and based heavily on a true story.

I have been wanting to see this film also so the record function has already been set in case I cannot watch. I read the book a few years ago. What a honour to be portrayed by Judi Dench IMO.

[Elina]

Caught it tonight by chance,very moving. Made me think of my beautiful grandaughter, heartbreaking.

[mazie]

It made me very angry...The church has a lot to answer for. Loved the film, still upset about it :o(

[Cloverjo]

I cried after coming out of the cinema about a year. Very sad, and terrible how were treated back then.

[Cloverjo]

^^^a year AGO

[mazie]

And they still hid the truth from her...Barstards !

[naomi24]

I'm so annoyed that I missed this - especially after reading this thread.

[mazie]

I'm still upset Jo :o(

[mazie]

Well it's going to make your blood boil naomi. Can you get it on Iplayer BBC2. Really worth a watch. I was so impressed with Steve Coogan. Of course Judy Dench was brilliant as always

[Cloverjo]

Steve Coogan is brilliant. I don't think he gets enough recognition for his serious roles.

[naomi24]

mazie, I'll try to find it elsewhere.

[Elina]

Love Coogan.

[mazie]

This is the only serious role I've seen him in Jo. Thought he was excellent

[mazie]

Let me know if it got you as much as it got to me naomi...Right I'm off. Night all. xxx

[naomi24]

I will, mazie. Sleep tight. x

[Elina]

Night Mazie.

[bobbie22]

I just watched the film on recording. I cried my eyes out. So moving

[Gavmacp]

Yes! I found it surprisingly emotional (a bit of an old cynic). I was touched when she forgave the Nun.

[cupid04]

I watched it. I found it very moving. I shed quite a few tears. A long time since a film has had this effect on me.
