About Small Things Like These
Cillian Murphy stars as a conflicted soul grappling with his town’s complicity in the mistreatment of local women housed in a Magdalene Laundry in this intimately inhabited adaptation of Claire Keegan’s novella.
Small Things Like These takes place over Christmas in 1985, when devoted father and coal merchant Bill Furlong (Murphy) discovers startling secrets kept by the convent in his town, specifically about Ireland's Magdalen laundries – horrific asylums run by Roman Catholic institutions from the 1820s until 1996, ostensibly to reform ‘fallen young women.’
