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.

    Some stories are really different from another angle. In this search story, the result is not so important. What is important is the various life states encountered in the process. Religious organizations and people who believe in religion have distorted a lot of things by human will. In the face of cold and rigid religion, human favors are gone, and confession and atonement are nothing but empty words of self-anaesthesia. There is no such sin in the world, because of religion, there is sin. ★★★★
