SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE Movie Review!

[@zachmiller8683]

This movie was brilliant in its subtlty along with Cillian hooking you from the start. This may not be for everyone but it's a really important movie.

Enda is a MAN and a brilliant playwright that Cillian has worked with for thirty years- Disco Pigs, Misterman, Ballyturk and Grief is the thing with feathers....Enda gave Cillian his first job on stage when he was 19...

I do hope we get it in cinemas in Australia ..it's a wonderful book ..I'm a bookseller and it's very highly regarded, but even with Cillian Murphy starring in it Lionsgate don't seem to be distributing it widely 😢Thank you for your fine review ❤

Glad we could review the film for you! We hope it comes to you soon. It's a smaller-budget movie with less distribution than most but I'm sure it will land on streaming before awards season if not!

A fantastic follow up for Cillian after Oppenheimer!

​@@CultureWaveMediaI saw it again last night at an independent cinema and it was a full house. Great to see. The Cineplex was half empty. It's definitely a word of mouth film.

There were 796 babies and children secretly buried in an unmarked grave at one particular mother and baby home in Tuam, Galway. They were only discovered in 2017 so the extent of the horror of all this is still recent and ongoing for Irish audiences

[@Mart-B]

To expand on that, these children and babies weren't murdered, per se, but the baby and child death rates in these homes was way, waaaay higher than national averages at the time, because of neglect and abuse. They were seen as children of sin because they were conceived out of wedlock. So the children and babies would be taken off their mothers, and they might then later die, and at Tuam for example the nuns buried their bodies in a septic tank with no record kept of them.

That’s incredibly shocking and such a sad story. That’s nothing any young woman or child should have to go through

Emily Watson won an award at the Berlin Film Festival when the movie premiered in the summer. Some critics compare Sister Mary to the Mafia.
