A film alive with love, heartache and the power of hope, "Philomena" is an entertaining experience that engaged and enthralled me throughout.  Judi Dench is terrific as the title character on a search for the long lost son taken from her in Ireland in the 1950s.  Steve Coogan plays the journalist who helps her.  He co-wrote the screenplay, which is virtually air-tight.  Stephen Frears directs this true story with maximum sensitivity and eloquence.

Released November 2013.  Rated PG-13.  One hour 35 minutes.  Review.  Distributor: The Weinstein Company
