“Philomena,” like at least one Weinstein Co. title a year, it seems, got nailed with an R-rating thanks to its sexually frank (funny) talk from the old Irish nurse played by Dame Judi Dench, in the title role. Well I never.
Dame Judi has personalized this appeal so that the film’s rating will be changed and more people can see this film, another true story from the hideous history of the Magdelene laundries of the Irish Catholic Church.
