Small Things Like These is a historical drama starring Cillian Murphy. I suppose for the purposes of award season this qualifies as an international film but when I do my wishes and wants it’s gonna go wherever I think it should be. Cillian has proven time and again that he is an incredibly powerful leading man so I was excited to see him in a quieter film. Especially one I knew he was excited about as he helped produce the film as well. This is based on a book that was very much based on a true story, so the framing of this story is rooted in reality.

Overall I think it was a heartbreaking and incredible film. Cillian was incredible as always, and the fact that this was even a little bit based on a true story is devastating. It was beautiful to watch and the message is important. The theme really centers around the kindness of strangers. Don’t allow societal expectations keep you from doing what is right. Small Things Like These also does a great job of showing that morality does not come from religion. It was quiet, subtle and deeply moving. It was beautiful 10/10.
