The hospital’s psychiatrist, Dr. William Grene, is called in to assess her condition. He finds himself intrigued by Roseanne’s seemingly inscrutable rituals and tics, and her fierce attachment to her Bible, which she has over the decades transformed into a palimpsest of scripture, drawings, and cryptic diary entries. As Grene delves deeper into Roseanne’s past, we see her as a young woman, whose charisma proves seductive. We learn that she moved to Sligo to work in her aunt’s café, fell in love with a dashing fighter pilot, and that a local priest fell tragically in love with her..
Plot: 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.

The Secret Scripture (2016)
I didn’t really know about this film but of course I’ll watch anything with Rooney Mara in it no matter what. I absolutely love her, think she’s still underrated and think she’s absolutely gorgeous. You do have to be cautious about directors whose work hasn’t really resonated well in the past so I wasn’t expecting something truly great from Jim Sheridan. The minimum of my requirements was to enjoy Rooney Mara and solely in that aspect it met my expectations. 

The Secret Scripture is based on the novel of the same name and is about a girl named Rose (played by Rooney Mara) and her young life in which she has a few suitable men interested in her. The film chronicles her love life and the turmoil that follows with it. It also details her mental health problems and her hospitalization which changes her life in unimaginable ways. The film follows an older Rose (Vanessa Redgrave) and is told through her written diary entries. 

This film isn’t very good. I did read that book readers were extremely disappointed by this film either through its adaptation or through changing key points of the plot. The film drudges along and never looks to fully realize its purpose. I think the lead actors’s chemistry was off and the script really let the actors down (possibly from not being good enough).  Maybe I am biased because I love Mara but I think she did really well in the film and gave a full effort. You could sense the bewilderment in her character when she got locked into the mental institution.

Overall, no harm done with this one. I didn’t really know about it or have any hopes. Bare minimum was that I wanted to see Rooney Mara do well and she does. The film just isn’t interesting has a lot of questions and is structured in a careless manner. Nothing to really see here. I’ll just look forward to seeing Mara as Mary Magdeline later this year instead.

6/10

Good story great actress
This is a sweeping romantic drama that goes back and forth in time between the present with an old woman in an asylum and her younger self in “neutral” Ireland during WW2. Even though there is a clearly fictional quality to the story, the themes of the Irish conflict feel very real.

Rooney Mara is eminently watchable. You can really believe her beauty is enough to drive the men in the small town to distraction. She really acts well here – wish she had more good roles.

Theo James plays the villain, a lecherous priest. His face is actually quite suited to the cruel character – he should play villains more in the future. Eric Bana should be on screen more. Vanessa Redgrave wouldn’t act in a mediocre movie.

One fault is a lot of non Irish actors speaking with accents – need subtitles sometimes.

This movie is saved by a good ending. A nice old fashioned ending that is feel good and doesn’t leave you hanging.
