i dunno if any of the peepz on here from Ireland or Britian can make some comments about this....or know of this....but i'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this movie. i plan on watching it later this week hopefully PLOT - In Ireland until fairly recent times, young women could be locked up without trail and sentenced to forced, unpaid labor for such crimes as flirting with boy's, becomeing pregnant out of wedlock or being raped. This film centers on the true stories of three of them, depicting depraved institutions administered by nuns who in some cases have found an outlet for sadomasochism. Attacked by the Catholic League, the film is based on FACT; cases angainst the church have been settled for a total of millions of pounds. What is astonishing is that such practices flourished through the 1970's and finally ceased only in 1996. A powerful indictment, wirtten and directed by Peter Mullan. |

ummm yea i figured. glad to know someone's seen it. i always find it so surprising that these kind of things still occur in modern times.....i mean Ireland is not 3rd world...they have FREE newspapers, etc.... why does it take so long for these things to get out and get dealt with? i'm surprised....and yet i'm NOT surprised =/ |

i know?!?!?!? some scary a*# sh*&! however along that same vein, i read today about a women in Nigeria who is awaiting her sentence. Due to the Islamic Religion....since she had a child out of wedlock (termed adultry) she is subjected to being buried alive up to her neck and stoned. the child is beautiful, and she's resigned to her fate.....i hope some organization will interceed! |

Movie has flaws (a bit too slow perhaps) but is a powerful exposure of religious fanaticism and small mindedness in oppressive backward rural communities. Good acting, ok filming and very very bleak! |

Saw this a couple of weeks ago. Its very well acted. Apparently they had to tame it a bit so the truth is harsher. This si the Catholic Church for you. Not one of the better organisations the world has ever seen and its a timely film, what with all this Islamaphobic backlash. Christianity has been, and still is, a bigger problem in the world today; especially tied to neo-liberal capitalism i.e. the Bush administration. |
