It tells the story of Philomena's search for her son in old age. This film criticizes the emphasis on human chastity in Catholicism, and Judi Dench's pears are not small. True story adaptation, spoiler: Son died 10 years ago when mama came looking for him. Therefore, the most touching thing about this film is that Mama knows what kind of person his son is through his friends, homosexuals, reports, etc. before his death, and whether his son has missed and searched for Mama, not the drama of mother and son reunion. The whole film relies on the micro-expressions on the face of the grandmother played by Judi Dench to express the inner changes and entanglements of the vicissitudes of the characters. There are two main points in preparing the facial tissue to cry: First, when I learned that my son was dead, I found out when I was looking at the photo of my son in the hotel room with the reporter that the reporter who accompanied me to find my son had seen my son, so I asked the reporter to talk about him. , In a short speech with vague memories, Judy imitated every detail of her son in surprise. The second is to finally return to the hometown in the snow to visit his son's tomb. After going around in a circle and returning to the original point, the son finally chose to be buried in the place where he was born.

Fifty years apart, but when she saw her son's photo at the first glance, she knew he was gay. The blood that overcomes time is thicker than water. In fact, religion and belief are just passers-by who temporarily accompany each other on the same road. True beliefs will always break free from the shackles of religion and pursue an unsullied starry sky. Real people, real things, increase the thickness.

Sister Hildegarde: Let me tell you something. I have kept my vow of chastity my whole life. Self-denial and mortification of the flesh; that's what brings us closer to God. Those girls have nobody to blame but themselves and their own carnal incompetence!
Martin Sixsmith: You mean they had sex.
Sister Hildegarde: What's done is done. What do you expect us to do about it now?
Philomena: Nothing. There's nothing to be done or said. I found my son, that's what I came here for.

Philomena: Martin.
Martin Sixsmith: Hang on, hang on, I'll tell you what you can do. Say sorry, how about that? Apologize. Stop trying to cover things up. Get out there and clear all the weeds and crap off the graves of the mothers and the babies that died in childbirth!
Sister Hildegarde: Their suffering was atonement for their sin.
Martin Sixsmith: One of the mothers was fourteen years old!
Philomena: Martin, that's enough.
Sister Hildegarde: The Lord Jesus Christ will be my judge, not the likes of you.
Martin Sixsmith: Really? Because I think if Jesus was here now, he'd tip you out of that fucking wheelchair - and you wouldn't get up and walk.
