Well-made and enjoyable biography of an Irish charity worker. The movie moves back and forth in time between her upbringing and later life in Vietnam. O'Kane uses her annoying personality to good effect in the role and the little girl at the start of the film is a natural. Elements of Philomena in the story, uses too much handheld camerawork (don't sit in the front row!) and that dire band Coldplay's music is on the soundtrack. But it's a marvellous picture that's uplifting, educational, and avoids the banalities of a TV movie. Really good stuff so well done to all involved.
