About this product

Product Information

Peter Mullen's shocking drama THE MAGDALENE SISTERS is based on real events that took place in Ireland from the 1960s until 1996 when an estimated 30,000 young women, considered by their families to have committed sexual sins, were sent away from their homes to earn penitence working in profit-making laundries run by the Sisters of Magdalene Order. However, the acts the girls committed to have been sent to these miserable prisons were clearly not punishable. What's worse, the nuns were cruel money grubbers who worked the girls to the point of exhaustion, and used poor living conditions and psychological abuse to break and brainwash the girls into subservience. The awful treatment the nuns gave these innocent young women was terrifying, and the ways the girls suffered were utterly disturbing. Mullen designed the fictional characters in the film based on interviews with actual survivors of the laundries, working their stories into his plot. Margaret (Anne-Marie Duff) is a shy girl who is raped by her cousin at a wedding shaming her family, Patricia/Rose (Dorothy Duff) gets pregnant and her parents take her baby away from her, Bernadette (Nora-Jane Noone) is a pretty girl who is deemed "too flirtatious," and Crispina (Eileen Walsh) is a loving young mom whose children are forbidden to see her and are being raised by her sister. The imposing Sister Bridget (Geraldine McEwan) is pure evil, and will strike fear into the souls of MAGDALENE viewers. With this expertly crafted, haunting film, Mullen presents his second feature, following 1999's ORPHANS.

The true story of the Magdalene asylums in Ireland
"The Magdalen Sisters" is the true story of three young women--so-called "bad girls"--who are sent away, in some cases for life, for sexual transgressions. One was raped by a cousin, one was a virgin but the nuns who ran the orphanage she lived in judged her a temptress, the third had a boyfriend and eventually a baby. These young women slaved in laundries run by the nuns under conditions of unbelievable cruelty and isolation. Beatings, shaving heads, and psychological and sexual abuse were all used by the nuns to keep the young women in line. While the film is billed as an ultimately inspiring story of girls who took power into their own hands and defeated an unjust system, nothing undoes the scars they took on over the course of their time at that terrible institution.

The acting is quite marvelous and the direction of Peter Mulan appropriately austere, allowing this powerful story to speak for itself without a trace of sentimentality or preachiness. Easily one of the finest films of the past few years and one of my favorites.

Let Us Not Judge All Nuns For The Sins Of The Few.
This movie is fictitious in its story line, but it was loosely base on the Laundries that were ran by the Catholic order of The Sisters Of Mercy throughout the 19th century and 20th century. Although those nuns habits did not looked anything like the original habits worn by The Sisters Of Mercy. But beyond that it was a great film and although after the movie came out the Sisters Of Mercy apologize to all the women that felt were wronged by the Sisters while in the Laundries, but the Vatican condemn the film. To me as a Catholic I do believe that there are bad apples in all religions and thus we must not generalize the Nuns/Sisters that acted not in the true spirit of charity and humility but acted like animals to others. As my mother did go to a Catholic school for girls run by nuns ...

To me as a Catholic I do believe that there are bad apples in all religions and thus we must not generalize the Nuns/Sisters that acted not in the true spirit of charity and humility but acted like animals to others. As my mother did go to a Catholic school for girls run by nuns and in her experience she told me that all the nuns were compassionate to all the intern girls they were always tender in teaching them, they showed them how to pray and become respectable women, and this was in a country where kids use to be beat up by everyone and in a time when child abuse was unheard of, so we must not cast stones and have a bad perception to all the good ladies that are true servants of God and make them pay for those rotten women.

Movie is great!
I saw this movie years ago and was reminded of it so I wanted to check it out. It tells a very dark and sad story of how poorly women were treated just for not meeting societies standards of them. Highly recommend!
