- Andrea6 dage sidenSo boring
- Corey B.7. marts 2025An hour and a half Cillian Murphy panic attack.
- CrossCutCritic1. maj 2025A Man, a Coal Sack, and the Weight of Conscience. --- There are no explosions in this film. No chase scenes. No courtroom victories. Only a man in work clothes, delivering coal in the bitter Irish winter of 1985, and quietly discovering that the world he thought was decent… isn’t. And in that stillness, Small Things Like These becomes one of the most powerful films of the year. --- Cillian Murphy plays Bill Furlong — a modest coal merchant, husband, father of five daughters. He’s not the kind of man who seeks trouble. He’s the kind of man who carries it, in bags over his shoulder, and in the quiet creases of his face. His life is small. Ordinary. But it’s the kind of ordinary that keeps a town alive — until he delivers coal to a convent-run laundry, and hears something through the locked doors. --- This isn’t a mystery. Not really. We know what he’s going to find. And maybe, on some level, so does he. It’s not the discovery that changes him. It’s the decision. To acknowledge what he saw. To not look away. To become the kind of man who does something — even if that something is small. --- The film never raises its voice. It doesn’t need to. It lets the silences speak: the silence of a girl with bruised wrists, the silence of a priest shaking hands too tightly, the silence of a town where everyone knows but no one speaks. And then there’s the silence inside Bill — a silence that has lived there since his own childhood, since the day someone didn’t throw him away. That memory becomes the hinge of the film. Gratitude. Conscience. Risk. --- And this, brother, is where the cross slips in — not as symbol, but as shape. Because this isn’t a film about heroism. It’s about obedience. Not obedience to an institution. Not even to law. But to something older, quieter — a mercy that remembers what it was like to be saved by someone else’s kindness. Bill doesn’t make a speech. He doesn’t expose the Church. He just walks back into that convent and makes a choice that will cost him everything and save someone else. --- The world won’t know his name. He’ll never be canonized. But in that one moment, under a sky weighed down by history and ash and silence, he becomes a Christ figure in the most terrifying way: not triumphant, but faithful. --- Small Things Like These reminds us that salvation often begins in shadows. Not in revolutions, but in single acts of courage from those who would rather not be brave at all. It is a cruciform film: quiet, hidden, human. And like the man at its center, it doesn’t raise its voice. It just refuses to look away. ---
- thomasrogers7537. september 2025I need Cillian Murphy in a movie every year
- shirazesat7. august 2025A slow burn but worth a watch.
- Nahim Wazir27. december 2024A slow burn film that allows time to fill out the story to its full rich end. Thank you.
- Wise Colt5. april 2026Another movie I endured for Cillian Murphy. The other one was Oppenheimer. 😤
- Petteri698. februar 2026Fantastic – it conveys the shocking reality of the Magdalene Houses in 1985.
- Mama & Papa21. september 2025Didn't like the ending. A slow buildup, with finally something at the end. And then it ends abruptly. A lack of information due to insinuations. There are too many unanswered questions. But overall, it's a good movie.
- Divine Sinz17. august 2025Insanely slow! I am not 100% sure what I was supposed to be taking from this movie. The acting was superb, however it seemed to drag on forever.
- Kevin Ward1. juli 2025Cillian Murphy is excellent in another quiet reserved role as a man who faces a moral dilemma when he discovers some objectionable practices happening at the local convent. I always say the Catholic Church is one of the greatest movie villains of all time. No exception here, but the pace of the film is glacially slow.
- parcolan3. juni 2025Very moody and little boring, but the third star is for Murphy
- dhdel28. december 2024Boooooooring
- Mark22. december 2024A little slow but ok to watch
