The back story is heartbreaking, but none the less, inspiring; about the human spirit's ability to live, love and to cling to the truth; while enduring an unspeakable lifetime of heartbreak and loss. Vanessa Redgrave shines as the older Rose. While Rooney Mara elicits a quiet strength and fragile, beauty that captivates others and yet traps her, ultimately to a mental institution, for over 40 years. That and a grave lie of the village priest who believes he loves her.
