In 1985, devoted Father Bill Furlong uncovers the secrets of a local convent and reveals its shocking truths. He remembers reading her novel "Foster" on the train and having to pull a hoodie over his face because he was crying. Eileen Furlong: If You Want to Get on in This Life, There Are Things You Must Ignore.. Dedicated to the over 56,000 young women who were sent to Magdalene Institutions for “cure and rehabilitation”; between 1922 and 1998. And the children taken from them. Introducing 60 Minutes: The Red Sea Crisis / The Fake Voters / Finding Cillian Murphy (2024). My eyes were glued to the screen from start to finish watching this film. The number of scenes with zero dialogue is absolutely incredible. But the emotions he shows in this film, and the way he acts with his body language and facial expressions, are absolutely amazing. She is truly one of the best actresses of this generation. Emily Watson is amazing as the headmistress. The tension she brings to every scene is fantastic. It really shows how horrible some nuns were in those days. The total running time of this film was 1 hour and 45 minutes. It felt even longer because I was so deeply immersed in it. The score and cinematography were both so simple, yet so effective. They both really added to the film and gave it just the finishing touch it needed. Overall this film was absolutely incredible and was a very enjoyable watch. I would love to see more films like this in the future. It was also great to learn more about my country’s history, even if it was the dark side of it.” Eileen Furlong.
