Philomenia

After cruel, greedy, heartless nuns sold her young son to a wealthy American couple 50 years earlier while she worked off her debt as a shamed single mother (Sophie Kennedy Clark) in the abbey in this Oscar-nominated, charming, heartbreaking, well-acted, factually inspired, 96-minute film, which is based on Martin Sixsmith novel The Lost Child of Philomena Lee, a hopeful retired Irish nurse (Dame Judi Dench) heads to Washington, D.C., with a British journalist (Steve Coogan) with the encouragement of her daughter (Charlie Murphy) to find her long-lost son.
