First trailer for Cillian Murphy’s Ireland-based drama Small Things Like These

BBG News

As a gamer with a deep appreciation for cinema that transcends the virtual worlds I often inhabit, I find myself eagerly anticipating the release of “Small Things Like These.” The trailer has piqued my interest with its intriguing narrative and stellar cast, which includes Cillian Murphy, an actor whose work in films like “Oppenheimer” and “Peaky Blinders” have left me captivated.

Lionsgate has released a first-look trailer for Cillian Murphy’s new Ireland-based film.

In the acclaimed film “Small Things Like These,” the Academy Award-winning performer takes center stage, portraying a character from the critically acclaimed short novel of the same title penned by Claire Keegan.

As a gamer, I find myself starring alongside Michelle Fairley from Game of Thrones, Clare Dunne known for Kin, and Emily Watson in an intriguing movie. My character uncovers a shocking truth about our town’s local convent in this project.

In the trailer, we’re introduced to Murphy, portrayed both as a father figure and a coal dealer named Bill Furlong. He expresses concern over the frequent arrivals and departures of young women at the nearby Catholic school.

Audience will initially encounter characters Dunne and Watson portraying powerful nun sisters. A scene unfolds where Watson’s character is caught attempting to bribe Bill using an envelope intended for his spouse, Eileen.

In a struggle to discern between right and wrong, the movie ends with Eileen, via narration, advising her spouse: “For advancement in life, sometimes certain matters must be overlooked.

In his role as a coal dealer to sustain his family, he unearths troubling secrets hidden within the local convent. This revelation leads him not only to uncover hidden truths but also prompts him to confront his own past. The tight-lipped complicity of a small Irish town under the Catholic Church’s influence adds another layer to this gripping tale.

As a gaming aficionado dabbling into acting, I’m not just the lead character on Small Things Like These; I’ve got a significant part behind the scenes too. Alongside cinematic giants like Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Alan Moloney, I’m also stepping up as a producer for this project.

The film is directed by Tim Mielants, who previously worked with Murphy on Peaky Blinders.

The film titled “Small Things Like These” made its global debut in February, gracing the screens for the first time at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival.

At its initial release, critics praised the movie, while now it boasts an 83% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Small Things Like These will receive a UK and Ireland release but a date is yet to be shared.
