I probably won't watch Philomena, although it is an important film that needed to be made. I don't think I would really enjoy it, and to me movies are for enjoyment.
As a student of History I am also well acquainted with the awfulness of the Catholic / Latin Church to where I really am surprised that it has adherents at this point in time. In all probability, the Latin Church does a good job of not talking about their horror show of a history. Philomena tells the story of a very modern depravity of the Church's view of motherhood. So awfully sad and revolting.
