Philomena Ratings & Reviews

  • krto5December 6, 2025
    Very well written, well cast, well acted. Enjoyed it a lot, and the content is so important. What a story. Well edited too; I thought not excessively long, nothing there that didn't need to be there. Worth the time.
  • Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 12, 2025
    An interesting story told vividly but succinctly. Great for a Sunday evening.
