Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
What 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.

It's smart and unsweetened.

Even 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.

At its core, this clever, wrenching, profound story underscores the tenacity of faith in the face of unfathomable cruelty.
