The film that the nuns and penitents watch is The Bells of St. Mary's
Movie Goof (anachronisms): The guitar the man plays at the beginning of the film is a Taylor acoustic guitar. Taylor Guitars was not established until 1974.
Peter Mullan has remarked that the film was initially made because victims of Magdalene Asylums had no closure. They had not received any recognition, compensation, or apology, and many remained lifelong devout Catholics.
The film was "inspired by the documentary Sex in a Cold Climate (1998) (TV) produced and directed by Steve Humphries (II)."
