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.

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Housewife of the Year is in cinemas from November 22.
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.
