After his Academy Award-winning performance in the Christopher Nolan film Oppenheimer (2023), Cillian Murphy is back with his next film, Small Things Like These. The film, which opened the Berlin Film Festival this February, will release on November 8, confirmed its trailer.
Emily Watson went on to win the Silver Bear for Best Supporting Performance for her role in the film. The official plotline reads, "While working as a coal merchant to support his family, he discovers disturbing secrets kept by the local convent — and uncovers truths of his own — forcing him to confront his past and the complicit silence of a small Irish town controlled by the Catholic Church."
