Four women are given into the custody of the Magdalene sisterhood asylum to correct their sinful behavior - Crispina and Rose have given birth to a premarital child, Margaret got raped by her cousin and the orphan Bernadette had been repeatedly caught flirting with the boys. All have to work in a laundry under the strict supervision of the nuns, who break their wills through sadistic punishment.
Does it pass the test?
No.
The film has to acknowledge that some of us menstruate, without any character being ashamed of it, or being
shamed by someone else about it.
