Small Things Like These
Small Things Like These
In 1985, while working as a coal merchant to support his family, Bill Furlong 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.

Cillian 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.
