About
You can watch Philomena (2013) on Hoopla with a participating library card, rent on Apple TV+, or buy on Apple TV+.
A woman searches for her adult son, who was taken away from her decades ago when she was forced to live in a convent.
A quiet, heartbreaking dignity permeates this search for a lost connection severed by religious institutional cruelty. It balances profound sorrow with a dry, biting wit that keeps the heavy subject matter from becoming unbearable.
