Now onto films you should think about seeing, and one of them is certainly Philomena. Suitable for all ages, although probably lost on the younger folk, this heart-warming tale sees Judi Dench and Steve Coogan play a mother finding her son and a determined journalist committed to helping her. Over in the UK, the critics were unanimous in their praise, and as the film has moved onto U.S shores, the comments have been equally kind.

“Director Steven Frears deserves special mention. A lesser filmmaker could so easily have turned this project into mushy, sentimental junk. The tear-jerking moments here are heartfelt and real. It's the kind of filmmaking we see too little of today,” wrote Bill Zwecker in his review for the Chicago Sun Times.

Now settled on a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s clearly one to check out, unless you’re part of a big family, or a Hunger Games fanatic, that is. Next up is Frozen, which is predicted to be a real winner this Thanksgiving weekend.
