The Tearjerker
The Magdalene Sisters (2002) stars Nora-Jane Noone (left) as the coy Bernadette, one of four girls who are considered to be “sinners” and have been sent to Magdalene Asylums so that they can find redemption.
Kevin Cullen says: “’The Magdalene Sisters’ captured institutional abuse of kids and women in a haunting way.”
Also in this category: “The Field” (1990), “Tristan + Isolde” (2006), and “Veronica Guerin” (2003).
