關於這部電影

A stirring, must-see motion picture critics called one of the best films of the year, THE MAGDALENE SISTERS is the triumphant story of three extraordinary women whose courage to defy a century of injustice would inspire a nation! Abandoned by society and cast out by their families for crimes they did not commit, these women found themselves stripped of their liberty and dignity and condemned to indefinite sentences of manual labor. Within the church-run Magdalene Laundries, these women were forced into unbearable institutional servitude in order to cleanse themselves of the @#sins@# of which they had been accused. From acclaimed director Peter Mullan, this award-winning powerhouse not only reveals the truth behind one of the great tragedies of our time, but celebrates the bravery that would bring it to an end!!

A movie that is sure to stay with you with memorable characters and a searing true story that will haunt you. Fearless acting and direction that will bring you to your feet when the credits come up.

Amazing movie. Intense and eye opening. This movie was so emotional for me.. One of my all time favs.

Excellent. This is sad but so true. Thank goodness these and other nuns and priests were exposed.
