This is certainly a problem for those who treat the
biblical text as sacred, regard the
biblical heroes as models, and suppose that everything said
about God is true.
While the debates rage on
about whether Noah is
biblical enough, Heaven is For Real true enough, and God is Not Dead profitable enough, Philomena delivers a quiet, understated, and powerful portrayal of the actual human experience, where clear - cut lines between good and evil,
heroes and villains, right and wrong might be good «story-wise» but don't reflect the reality most people of faith actually live in.
