Honestly, there's not much there
I'd still buy a ticket.Here, as Bill Furlong, he conveys a sadness that is rarely seen or understood by the people close to him. But we (the audience) can see it's there.I won't go into the story that much.
It just means that it's a simple story
But that doesn't mean it's a bad movie. But one that is very well written, beautifully shot (The whole time, I believed I was in Ireland during the eighties) and incredibly well acted.The Magdelene laundries were a real thing up until 1996, when the last one closed.
Sometimes, they were also physically abused and mistreated
Unmarried, pregnant teens were sent to monasteries to give birth and lose their child to forced adoption. All the while, they were abused as cheap labor by the nuns who were running the laundries.
Furlong, also starred in the Magdalene sister, a movie from 2003
It has left a mark on the soul of the country.Eileen Walsh, who plays Ms. Coincidence or not: I suggest you check it out because it's a perfect bookend to this gem of a movie.
