A GRAND week for film buffs ranges from a bio-pic about murdered Dublin journalist Victoria Guerin and two powerful accounts of bullying, escape and hope, The Magdalene Sisters and Rabbit Proof Fence. There have been plenty of films of The Winslow Boy but some of the lines from the original stage version still pack a punch.
