Critics consensus

“A typical women-in-prision film made untypical because it's based on real events.”

You come away from the movie not just convinced but cowed.

This drama about a shocking reality from recent history balances a light touch with searing intensity and a sense of moral outrage.

Grimly believable.

The Magdalene Sisters is an intense watch, but one that allows its central characters a sense of hope and power, even amid the atrocities.
