Friday Film Club: Small Things Like These (12)

21 February 2025 @ 7:30 pm

Adults £8 / Under 18 £2

Cillian Murphy stars in Tim Mielants’ atmospheric adaptation of Claire (Quiet Girl) Keegan’s acclaimed Magdalene Laundries novella. 

In 1985, devoted father Bill Furlong discovers disturbing secrets as he witnesses Ireland’s abusive church workhouses for unwed mothers. Whilst making a delivery to a convent, he finds a young woman locked in a freezing shed and must decide whether to put his family and livelihood at risk by following his conscience.

Murphy is magnificent, expressive and inward and Emily Watson gives a superb dead-eyed performance as the unblinking Mother Superior.

Small Things Like These is a powerful, poignant and understated study in human decency, taking the high road in hesitant steps.
