The Secret Scripture (2017)

"The Secret Scripture" is a period drama tracing one woman's buried past across decades of institutional secrecy and personal loss, adapted from Sebastian Barry's novel. Rooney Mara plays the younger version of the story's central figure, bringing a quiet intensity to a role steeped in repression and longing. The archive holds one scene from the film worth a look, a glimpse of Mara baring more than the script's restrained surface usually allows. It's a brief but telling piece of an otherwise somber, tightly wound performance.
