'Philomena' tells a heartbreaking true story with strong conviction. Though, the outcome is anything but upbeat, the film still manages to leave a pleasant feeling. Some lighter moments are placed perfectly throughout to highlight the endearing nature of the main character Philomena. This makes the emotional scenes all the more effective. Dench and Coogan are terrific.
