“With Cillian Murphy’s quiet, almost small and yet grand performance carrying the story every step of the way, “Small Things Like These” is quite possibly the best movie I’ve seen so far this year.” – Chicago Sun Times

Small Things Like These takes place over Christmas in 1985 when devoted father and coal merchant Bill Furlong (Cillian Murphy) discovers startling secrets the convent keeps in his town and 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.
