This unflinching drama charts several years in the young lives of four "fallen women" who were rejected by their families and abandoned to the mercy of the Catholic Church in 1960s Ireland. While women's liberation sweeps the globe, these women are stripped of their liberty and dignity and condemned to indefinite servitude in The Magdalene Laundries, so that they may atone for their "sins."

Rated R 2 hrs. 2002


5 stars. Really hard movie to watch but very good. The abuse these girls deal with and the way these so called people of God act is totally disgusting. To hide behind their robes and their church and to do such awful things is appalling.
