As he delves into her past, Dr. Grene gets to know the younger Roseanne (played by Rooney Mara) and eventually learns the terrible truth about her confinement.
Shot in the starkly beautiful west of Ireland, The Secret Scripture uncovers a dark chapter in Ireland’s history.

JACKIE
In depicting the trauma of JFK’s assassination as experienced by his wife Jackie (Natalie Portman), director Pablo Larraín (The Club, No) eschews the conventions of the biopic, choosing instead to focus on the immediate aftermath of the shooting, with brief flashbacks to the days before the event. Anchored by an extraordinarily three-dimensional performance from Natalie Portman and graced by Mica Levi’s innovative score that is by turns disorientating and delicate, Larraíns Jackie is a fractured mosaic of grief, shock and confusion.
Starring: Natalie Portman, Peter Sarsgaard, Greta Gerwig, Billy Crudup, John Hurt, Richard E. Grant
