Philomena
.
Every week in 2013, I tried to set aside a little time for an Artist Date. The Artist Date comes from the book The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. Being the final weekend of 2013, I wanted to make sure I did something, so my daughter and I headed out to see a movie.
We went to see Philomena.
The film is based on the book The Lost Child of Philomena Lee by Martin Sixsmith, which tells the true story of Philomena Lee’s 50-year-long search for her son.
We really enjoyed the film and more than a few tears were shed by me. I recommend it.
This is a movie that I would like to see. I am not a movie goer, so that says a lot. LOL
Wanted to see the movie….read the book. Philomena gets a look in in the beginning and again at the very end. The book was about her son, who I ended up having no sympathy for. Seemed to use his ‘but I was adopted’ card too much.
I may see the film as it apparently isn’t like the book at all.
Glad you enjoyed it. A friend worked on the editing. We had the screening/ premiere here in LA about 2 months ago

Glad you enjoyed the film. It’s one on my list to see.
I don’t know about the movie, but I love that movie theater. Very Art Deco.
I love Dame Judi! I’ve seen the previews & thought I’d enjoy it.
