Small Things Like These
Friday 28th February 2025
Oscar winner Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer), who shot to fame in the `award-winning series Peaky Blinders, delivers yet another stellar performance in Tim Mielants' piercing drama based on Claire Keegan's best-selling novella, fully channelling the quiet tension and live emotion of her prose.
Ireland, 1985: In the months leading up to Christmas, coalman and family man Bill Furlong (Murphy) discovers startling secrets kept by the local convent. Deeply conflicted, Bill reaches a breaking point that forces him to confront both his own past and the complicit silence of a small Irish town under the control of the Catholic Church, led locally by Mother Superior Sister Mary (Emily Watson – Breaking the Waves).
"An absorbing, committed drama" ... The Guardian
"A quiet film with fire raging in its heart" ...The Next Best Picture
