A thoroughly mind-provoking film about 3 young women who, under tragic circumstances, see themselves cast away to a Magdalene Asylum for young women in 1964. One of many like institutions, the asylums are run like prisons and young girls are forced to do workhouse laundry and hard labor. The asylum, one of many that existed in theocratic Catholic Ireland, is for supposedly 'fallen' women. Here, young girls are imprisoned indefinitely and endure agonizing punishments and a long, harsh working system which leaves them physically drained and mentally damaged. As the girls bond together, it soon becomes clear that the only way out of the Magdalene convent is to escape, but with twisted Sister Bridget running the wing, any chances seem limited...
Leave your thoughts about The Magdalene Sisters.
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsA superbly made film about the shocking treatment of young girls rejected from their families by the nuns. |
| NetflixJames RocchiTough drama about Ireland's Catholic homes for "fallen" women is a cruel, wrenching drama with a sting of truth behind every atrocity. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionEleanor Ringel CaterDefinitely one-sided, but still very powerful. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A disturbing, heartbreaking and gripping portrait of religious paranoia manifested through violence. |
| New York ObserverAndrew SarrisMr. Mullan's fictional treatment of this subject in The Magdalene Sisters has much to commend. |
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganThe real-life story behind The Magdalene Sisters is harrowing enough without writer-director Peter Mullan's melodramatic embellishments. |
| Palo Alto WeeklyJeanne AufmuthThe film's strength lies not in the harrowing crimes of its namesakes, but in the feisty spirit of the maltreated girls whose determination to escape their Dickensian nightmare transcends all. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin Clifford"The Magdalene Sisters" may be criticized for beating the Church when it's down but the heartfelt honesty of the work, the fine performances and deft crafting make this a must for the socially conscious. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonOne of the year's most powerful films and an absolute must-see. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussSomething like a 'Masterpiece Theatre' retread of an old Roger Corman women-in-prison flick... |
