Cillian Murphy on Small Things Like These and his life post-Oscar win

[@atuvera9021]

I love how Cillian is not only a great professional but also a humble and well intentioned man, he truly listen and answer the questions in a honest way. I love that i'm a time were people like him still are trying to make movies meaningful.

[@elizabethharvester6111]

He's such a real soul him

[@dorothylaplante7243]

It is admirable how Cillian thinks carefully about the questions before he responds. He walks a fine line as an Irish man. He is an amazing artist.

[@SmcdMcd-d2k]

A fine line ? A lot of irish actors are like that

[@muirisobreathnach]

What a class act Cillian Murphy is!! Fantastic interview and interviewer. Felt like I was just sitting in on the conversation which doesn't happen often if at all ☘🇮🇪

[@elizabethharvester6111]

Right? That's what I thought - I give credit to Tom Power's approach as an interview.

[@Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

Both Cillian and Tom deserve all of their flowers!

[@linland4309]

Cillian is the master of the unspoken emotion...he is so great at expressing things with his eyes and facial expressions.

[@yvonnegallogly1877]

4.30 this is what moved me so deeply and had me in tears, the depth of emotion blew me away, best character portrayal I've ever seen, wow and doing it silently

[@monklingtoneverjet2536]

yeah the depth of the emotion, Cillian's response to the environment was coming to life. I dissociated in the cinema to appear un moved, when my whole body wanted to scream and cry I literally joined with the consensus that in order to get on in this world there are things we have to ignore. I could feel the vulnerability being locked in the coal shed, pushed away

[@cl17886]

One of the most fascinating interviews with Mr Murphy I have seen recently. Thanks a million ❤

[@CK2008able]

Great interview! Should've known Tom was from Newfoundland with that accent. Such a kinship between us Irish and Newfoundlanders. Also, Cillian is the man

[@failedartist3994]

Thank you for you interview. Just saw it in Montreal and couldn't help but think that we also shared a similar experience under Duplessis. So many women and children were put in the "crèches" and so many families were pulled appart. Truly heartbreaking. This movie should be seen by everyone.

[@elizabethharvester6111]

Oh my gosh, I did not know about "cheches"! Thank you for informing me about them! I'll have to go read more about them. Just one more piece of colonial history that was covered up for many years.

[@kirstensutton8750]

Fabulous interview! Breathtaking performance by Cillian Murphy. Love, love, love.

[@brkaz5864]

I love an interview with intelligence on both sides of the screen. Love that Tom engaged Cillian and a lovely discussion ensued. Most American interviewers are so inept

[@elizabethharvester6111]

Oh my word yes! Some of them ask such stupid questions - you can see the actor try so hard to NOT reach across and smack them in the face for asking such insipid questions.

[@user-ly4bo7zk1t]

Exactly!

[@Meagan939]

Just wonderful! I’ve never come across an interview that was so wholesome and detailed. So well thought out and in turn so well answered. Amazing job to the both of yall!

[@sohinisen3042]

That was an interesting interview. Love how Cillian takes a moment to think and then answers the questions.♥️

[@TKVdaboi]

I feel glad to be one of the first people to watch this. I have Cillian all to myself ❤ if only for a few moments I love hearing him on anything be it life, movies, etc

[@marisolm5384]

I know I'm probably not saying anything new but it is SUCH a beautiful performance. The work he does on his physicality, his movements, his facial expression. It's so delicate. I had read the novella and it was very moving, but seeing it on the screen is even more touching. Please go see this film.

[@marisolm5384]

Also EXCELLENT interview, Tom

[@annettegilbert3715]

I do hope they'll bring it to cinemas in Australia ❤️

[@jessicarowley9631]

This was a lovely interview. Thank you.

[@mb4310]

Loved this AMAZING interview - you're a legend Tom!!

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I loved what he said about how the film ended - we went for dinner after and the people I was with - we just talked and thought about the next scene after the ending - it was a masterstroke to leave it there - how did that family deal with the next minute and hour after he got home with Sarah???? such a great film

[@saraoleary4150]

Lovely interview! Really appreciated the deep thoughtful questions given that made up a lovely conversation overall! I would personally love to see all the Irish gang from Cillian, Barry, Saoirse, Paul, etc in a film together some day! If not that, maybe a huge Irish version of “actors on actors”😏 Great job.

[@nxdia5361]

The film was so incredible and both Cillian and the interviewer are so thoughtful and genuine when going into the meaning of this film, truly amazing and so well spoken - this is why Cillian is my favourite actor. He really cares about his roles. 💗

[@bgbaltuth]

Absolutely fabulous acting.

[@R12390]

What a great interview Tom. Cillian is notoriously not fond of interviews, you brought him out. ❤️

[@elizabethharvester6111]

Yes, I think that's because Tom Power actually asked intelligent questions about the craft and the work - instead of stupid questions like some of these giddy hollywood reports. Ugh.

[@graziemille2454]

I love the solo interviews with CM with serious interviewers. CM seems to enjoy talking about his work, and a great interviewer will let him talk. Personally, I did not enjoy many of the Oppie interviews which included Downey and especially Blunt, who often interrupted. The Kimmel interview was painful to watch. (if you liked them, that’s fine. Weren’t my cuppa tea.). Thank you for posting. Highly recommend the film. Seems to have more showings in my area.

[@nailabraga4500]

exactly

[@kavkazE]

Two great guys to hear

[@rehnumachowdhury3629]

What I loved about the film, is they don't dumb it down for the audience. The movie is like a Jigsaw (bit of a spoiler), you piece it together while the movie goes on, and then the very unconventional ending makes it perfect. Gives the characters/societies plight to the audience. Also, I loved how they didn't try to emotionally manipulate the audience with a sad violin score or speed up the pacing, allowing you to really take everything in. Certainly not a comfortable viewing experience, but an essential one.

It is that line in Joni Mitchell 's , Magdalene Laundries . " At least some Bells should ring " .

An actor just prancing around the place. Cillian, the king of understatement = )

[@elizabethharvester6111]

He's so damn funny! 🤣 He never seems to take himself too seriously - which makes him all the more loveable as an artist.

[@leanneanderson9948]

What a great interview. Love Tom and his comfortable style. What can we say about Cillian? He scared the bejesus out of me in Batman and could barely look at him. Now I can't take my eyes off him. He's mesmerizing.

[@amandabrown8454]

Thank you for my Cillian 😊

Great interview. Love your voice Tom Powet. 🙏🏼💕👏🇨🇦

[@elizabethharvester6111]

Oooh, I am loving this - getting a glimpse inside the artist's mind of the amazing Cillian Murphy. Love hearing him process his approach to the craft. It is an art form I could never tackle - don't want to either. But I love watching the "true artists" (or did he say "real artists) tackle roles like this - real life like everyday characters going through such pain and angst.

[@simonaschmidt]

mistakes are the portals to creativity - awesome!

[@MultiKiiki]

C M has certainly evolved into a fine actor with a serious back catalog of finely portrayed roles I have been most impressed with his theater performances especially Misterman and Grief is a thing with Feathers both directed by Enda Walsh They were very much one man shows and C was outstanding

[@pjm8747]

“if you’re delighted with yourself, delighted with your work, and delighted with your life, i don’t think you’re going to make very interesting work.” Cillian, King Perfectionist Sad Boi 👑🖤

I'm anonymously adopted. In Paris. And live in Brugge, Belgium. I I know nothing about my biological mother. The movie makes me think at her. I respect her 200%. Even when my adoptive father told me, that he had not at all respect for her. I've cried. I find the movie just great. Thanks

His voice 🗿

[@Starburst514]

What he said about being able to feel like you can be a bit of a fool on set to get to what works reminds me of what Derek Centerfiane said about making the Light Between Oceans He said when he finished reading the book on the subway he was crying and very aware he was crying in public and he said he went "wow this is embarrassing....i have to make this a movie" 😂 and that's also how he oicks his actors, because you have to be willing to be embarrassed not just to see what works but to be able to display the things thst get to the heart A lot of people who act have said they had to get over the hump of feeling foolish and embarrassed when you start doing it, but then also to display true emotion you have to be willing to look or feel weird I've noticed (on smaller scale) a lot of content creators and artists have a fear of being "cringe" that holds them back creatively because if it fails then its humiliating, but you don't know what works until you see what doesn't To make good art you have to be willing to be embarrassed and look weird

[@SimDeck]

The Irish often harbor profound resentment towards the British, yet struggle to confront or resolve the complexities within their own historical and societal challenges. If one intends to argue from a position of moral virtue and claim the high ground of righteousness, it is imperative to ensure that their own narrative stands unblemished. Hypocrisy is the enemy of credibility; before casting judgment outward, one must have the courage to first reconcile with the imperfections of their own past.
