Small Things Like These

Watch Trailer Buy tickets
“Small Things Like These, to paraphrase Walt Whitman, contains multitudes. A deep-dive character study anchored by Cillian Murphy’s fiercely internalised performance, Tim Mielant’s film is quietly emblematic of a changing Ireland. – Tara Brady, The Irish Times

It is 1985 in the run-up to Christmas in a small town in County Wexford, Ireland. Bill Furlong 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. Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Claire Keegan and starring Oscar® winner Cillian Murphy, Eileen Walsh, Michelle Fairley and Oscar® nominee Emily Watson.
