Independent Cinema for Everyone

The hidden memoir of an elderly woman confined to a mental hospital reveals the history of her passionate yet tortured life, and of the religious and political upheavals in Ireland during the 1920s and ’30s. Based on Sebastian Barry's acclaimed 2008 novel, the latest film from Oscar–nominated director Jim Sheridan draws us into a woman's mysterious story, long hidden by time and trauma. The Secret Scripture is a powerful story of love, loss, and belated redemption.

Dir. Jim Sheridan, Ireland, 2016, 108 mins.
Cast. Rooney Mara, Vanessa Redgrave, Theo James, Jack Reynor.
