Growing up in Ireland in the 80s I was brought up a long a long way away from this, but there was a place close to me where there was a home run by the nuns, no that I am in my 50s, seeing this film makes I think back to those times when you would see a girl from one of those places, and the whispers.
Little did I know and this film has brought me right back to that
Powerful.
Cillian’s performance was so understated and all the other characters, including the children were incredible
The stories of the Magdalene Laundries is a dark and terrible part of Irish History, films like this give us a glimpse of the pain and suffering
