I really must apologise for in incorrect spelling of Philomena's name. (Phillumenists, sometimes my computer has a mind of its own) |

I felt it must be but wanted to confirm. What a very talented actress Dame Judi is. |

Her accent was really good, Ann. It must have been authentic because it didn't bother me and I usually cringe when someone puts on a bad Irish accent! :-D <3 |

Saw Philomena film last week-it was heartbreaking-I too was born in 1952 the same year as Philomena:s son-my mother was English(Gloucestershire)and my father was Irish/American called John Rynne(not sure of spelling)he had 2 sisters who were"nurses in Manchester"-that would have been around 1951-they must have been Irish/Catholics - perhaps this rings a bell with someone? My mother died many years ago and I long to know who my father was-perhaps this film will make people open up more about their family secrets and end years of heartache for people . |

Sue, one reason I prefer to read a book after seeing the film. |

I also saw it this afternoon and enjoyed it immensely., Not overly sentimental.(I wiped a few tears away of course!) and beautifully acted. Sisters of No Mercy...how true! |

I actually didn't know the full story before I went so I am pleased about that. all I had seen were the ads in a couple of papers and on the sides of our buses, no spoilers at all. |

Its good that British film makers have at last recognised the purchasing power of the older generation. We don't all want bedroom romps disguised as Romance, or Shoot'em Up films! |

Sorry to spoil it Liz but It has been publicised on TV and radio. Phillumenists Lee was on radio four last week and told the full story. |

I am sure it will be on TV. But our cinema seats are really comfortable with loads of leg room. (Cine World) :-) |

There seem to be two books the original one and the one that supports the film. |
