The best prison movie was Bresson's A Man Escaped.A group of IRA women prisoners in the early '80s.This movie has been made already. It was called H3. For some reason, although made three years ago, Silent Grace is only getting a theatrical release this month. The one interesting aspect of this movie is that it's about women prisoners. Which is useful for anyone writing a book chapter on "feminism in Irish cinema". But for the general audience (including myself) this movie is quite dull. Brady's character is the most interesting. There should have been an epilogue showing the women 20 years on and how they've changed (or not). Like H3, the photography, editing and pacing were too bland. A surprisingly uplifting ending though.Silent Grace is an interesting but dull movie on the dirty protest of the '80s. It should really have been made back then.
