This film's certificate is a 12A due to the infrequent strong language and moderate sex references throughout the movie. Although this particular certificate means that the audience for Philomena is restricted, the marketing, in the means of the trailer, portrays that the film is a more mature and sensible one for people who are much older than 12.
Marketing -
Based on a true story, Philomena focuses on a journalist who meets a woman named Philomena Lee and together they go on an emotional journey trying to find her lost son. A large percentage of the marketing budget was spent on posters and billboards in and around multiplex cinemas which included a bright yellow background with variations of Steve Coogan and Dame Judi Dench as its main focal point. Some posters even focused on awards that the film had won at certain film festivals. e.g Venice Film Festival - Best Screenplay. Obviously, a trailer was produced and was presented to the public in cinemas, YouTube and in the comfort of their own home through the means of TV advertising. .
