The Magdalene Sisters (2002)
Could easily turn you againest the Catholic Church even if you are Catholic!!!
I went to see this film last night at the cinema and i can truly say i have never watched a film that affected me so much and the people in the cinema by the sounds of things. You could of heard a pin drop in there, the place was completely silent from the minute it started to until everyone got up to leave and even then they did not speak. I thought this film was absolutly brilliant because i (being an Irish catholic) know that this really went on and did so untill 1996, when you see the things that these poor girls went through, it really makes you wonder if there is a god, and as for the Priests and Nuns - i got one word to discribe them "EVIL"! I left the cinema and did not say a word untill i got home, i then could not hold back the tears, it was just so so sad to think about what 30 odd thousand women went through in them Magdalene laundries and how it was not stopped untill recent years.I will never look at priests and nuns in the same way again. I would give it a top 10 out of 10 and am sure to have it in my DVD collection when it is available.
Screen Two: The Snapper (1993)
If you have a unique Irish sense of humour, you will love it!!!
I thought this film was one of the best Irish films made, It was the phrases they used, the way they used them and the excellent acting of all the characters.
I was laughing all the way through it, actually every time i think about this film it brings a smile to my face. If you have a unique Irish sense of humour, you have got to see it!!!
