| | Movie Habit 2004 DVD Gift Guide |
 | | Set in County Dublin, Ireland in 1964, a cast of wayward “dirty” girls are abandoned, beaten, and shunned by family and community alike for their perceived sins, then whisked off to the Magdalene Sisters’ penitentiary of penitence to serve a term of indefinite servitude. |
 | | It’s a movie that begs for a DVD full of extra features, but this Miramax release is almost as sparse as the movie. |
 | | It is a challenging movie, and a lot of people may find it “boring.” If you’re more interested in watching movies than in the art of film, think twice before you see it. |
