Small Things Like These
A film by Tim Mielants
w/ Cillian Murphy, Patrick Ryan, Peter Claffey
Rated PG13
1hr 38min
Small Things Like These takes place over Christmas in 1985, when devoted father and coal merchant Bill Furlong (Cillian Murphy) discovers startling secrets kept by the convent in his town, along with some shocking truths of his own. The film reveals truths about Ireland's Magdalene laundries -- horrific asylums run by Roman Catholic institutions from the 1820s until 1996, ostensibly to reform "fallen young women." Adapted from the Booker Prize nominated novel by Claire Keegan.
"Murphy delivers exactly the kind of performance this heartfelt narrative deserves, keeping Bill’s feelings at a careful remove, yet always still visible. It’s the small things like these that make a movie great."
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
Hammer to Nail
"Small Things Like These tells the story of a man paralyzed by uncertainty, afraid to express himself even to those closest to him, and Cillian Murphy is the perfect actor to bring him to life."
