TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Peter Mullan has said that the film was initially made because victims of Magdalene Asylums had no closure. They hadn't received any recognition, compensation, or apology. Many remained lifelong devout Catholics.

Former Magdalene Asylum inmate Mary-Jo McDonagh told director and writer Peter Mullan that the reality of the Magdalene Asylums was much worse than depicted in the film.

The film was inspired by the documentary Sex in a Cold Climate (1998) produced and directed by Steve Humphries.

The film shows the asylum experimenting with washing machines. The widespread adaptation of the household appliance would become a significant factor to the asylums' economic viability being fatally undermined and led to their ultimate closure.

Debut feature film of Nora-Jane Noone.

Popular Dialogues

"Crispina: [27 Times] You're not a man of God!"

"Katy: [talking about leprosy] Anything that sticks out falls off!"
