Small Things Like These

Synopsis

Cillian Murphy delivers a stunning performance as devoted father Bill Furlong in this film based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Claire Keegan.

While working as a coal merchant to support his family, Bill discovers disturbing secrets kept by the local convent — and uncovers truths of his own — forcing him to confront his past and the complicit silence of a small Irish town controlled by the Catholic Church.

“A master class in quiet acting, one that’s hard to shake once the credits roll” (Boston Globe)
