The Magdalene Sisters
Starring: Anne-Marie Duff, Dorothy Duffy, Eileen Walsh, Geraldine McEwan, Nora-Jane Noone
Details: Ire / 119 mins / (15PG).
First up, forget The Magdalene Sisters when it comes to date movies, as this is a remorseless, emotionally sapping picture. Mullan, while showing some visual flair, recounts the events in an episodic fashion which lends the film an anecdotal air, and there's little sense of progression in the narrative. Similarly, there's little sense of explanation for the vicious nature of the nuns in the Magdalene laundry. Yet even with these discrepancies in mind, it's difficult not to be affected by the film and the performances, by the largely unknown cast, are exceptional.
