2. I saw it
It broke my heart. It was an absoluely devastating movie.

Afterwards, my partner, Will, wanted to get romantic. He hadn't been paying attention to the movie.

3. A little light escapism tonight?
Great movie. Heartwrenching and sobering, but a worthwhile trip.

4. I hope you are right. Right now I am so angry about the treatment I want
to punch those nuns and I am hoping one of those girls do by the end of the movie.

5. I did not see the movie
but when I was a nun we had a another part of our sisters I joined, the other sisters were called Magdalenes. Is this a true story? The Magdalenes were were semi cloistered but a repentent order.
