A Christmas movie—but not the usual kind of Christmas movie at all. It’s 1985 in the run-up to Christmas in a small town in County Wexford, Ireland. Bill Furlong (Cillian Murphy) toils as a coal merchant to support himself, his wife, and his five daughters. Early one morning while out delivering coal at the local convent, he makes a discovery that forces him to confront his past and the complicit silence of a town controlled by the Catholic Church—whose channel is a nun (Emily Watson) with her own discoveries to make… Based on the novel by Claire Keegan, Small Things Like These is “an electric, atmospheric, and deeply soulful look at what it means to be human, what it means to have empathy, and how faith should never come before people.”–Emma Kiely, Collider.
