And then QFT for Housewife of the Year, doc using the competition as a lens for a generation of women living in the shadow of mother and baby homes, the marriage bar, 2 divorce referendums. Near full house with lots of laughter but also audible gasps of horror. Like STLT, it's such _recent_ history.
Watchd 'Housewife of the year' this afternoon as part of Foyle Film Festival. Recomended viewing. A superb 77min time capsule of how Irelnd was only a generation ago. In places weird & uncomfortable viewing, in othrs uplifting & humorous. It got well-deservd applause at the end. How uv changd Irelnd

Just after watching Housewife of the Year- a definite must-watch, an extremely compelling look back into all aspects of Irish women’s lives in the 20th century, so glad that these women were giving the opportunity to share their stories ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

“To be a happy housewife in Ireland was to give up having wants of your own. If you can do that, and do it with a smile, you might just be housewife of the year.”

A lovely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review for HOUSEWIFE OF THE YEAR
Thanks for checking it out, Michael! Glad you enjoyed.
Saw this excellent documentary in cinema today.
Delighted you enjoyed!
“Housewife of the Year” is genuinely one of the best films about Ireland I’ve ever seen - it’s both hilarious and unsettling, generous and scathing. This country was an oppressive theocracy, where women were the primary victims. This doc shows us what that felt like in practice. Must watch ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
OUT NOW

The winner of the 1969 competition, Ann McStay, was married at 20 and a mother of 13 by the time she was 31. Contraception was banned by the Catholic Church, and talking about it was taboo.
