Magdalene sisters

First the news articles, then the books, then the TV documentaries, and finally the movie. Jaded film that should have been made two decades earlier and caused a sensation. Of course that would have been controversial and probably banned. The kind of movie where you know what's going to happen. The kind of movie that gets great reviews because of its subject matter but is quickly forgotten. A lot of the scenes are so overcooked that they lose their effectiveness. For example that scene where the cardboard-baddie nun counts her money is like something off a book cover. This is the kind of stuff that appeals to a wide audience - the ones who prefer television to cinema.
