A very complex movie I wish more people had seen. Definitely worth a watch; be prepared to experience a lot of mixed feelings.
Intense and difficult to watch movie about how fucked up the Catholic Church was.
Super sad movie so distrubing what happened to these woman.
Stunning. One of those intense films you can only watch once
This is a dark film about girls who get cast aside it’s very sad.
Definitely not a feel good flick, just another brutal story of institutions exploiting those that depend on them.
Ngl. I thought that one of the girls was Katie McGrath… whoops
Absolutely brilliant. A story that needs to be told
Good historical drama movie, interesting story and great acting. Worth watching
Es una película intensa, compleja y difícil de ver, considerando que no es ficción sino cosas reales que solían ocurrir. Recomendada.
