줄거리
1985년 크리스마스를 앞두고, 아일랜드 뉴로스 마을에서 성실하고 정직한 석탄 상인으로 알려진 빌 펄롱은 다섯 딸의 아버지다. 과거 회상 장면을 통해 빌은 젊은 미혼모의 아들로 어려운 어린 시절을 보냈으며, 가족에게 외면받았지만 부유한 지주인 윌슨 부인의 도움으로 일할 수 있었다.
어느 날, 빌은 평소보다 일찍 배달을 나섰다가 지역 수녀원의 석탄 창고에서 꽁꽁 언 채 갇혀 있는 십 대 소녀 사라를 발견한다. 사라는 5개월 안에 그곳에서 아이를 낳아야 한다고 말한다.
빌은 사라를 수녀원으로 데려가지만, 수녀들은 그녀를 제대로 돌보는 척만 한다. 수녀원 원장인 메리 수녀는 빌과 사라를 사무실로 안내하고, 사라는 숨바꼭질을 하다가 다른 소녀들이 자신을 창고에 가뒀다고 거짓말을 하도록 강요받는다.
사라가 끌려간 후, 메리 수녀는 빌의 아내와 큰딸이 수녀들이 운영하는 학교에 다닌다는 사실을 언급하며 그가 본 것에 대해 발설하면 딸들이 학교에 다니지 못하게 할 수 있다고 암시한다. 그런 다음 그녀는 크리스마스 카드에 현금을 넣어 "아일린"이라고 적힌 봉투에 담아 빌에게 건넨다. 빌은 집으로 돌아와 아내에게 봉투를 주지 않지만, 나중에 아일린은 메리 수녀를 만나 카드를 받았다는 이야기를 듣고 왜 자신이 아니라 빌이 봉투를 받았는지 의아해한다. 빌은 단순한 실수라고 둘러댄다.
빌은 술집 주인인 키호 부인으로부터 수녀원의 사회적 영향력 때문에 함부로 말하지 말라는 충고를 듣는다. 어느 날 저녁, 아내에게 크리스마스 선물을 사러 나간 빌은 어린 시절 갖고 싶었던 선물을 발견하고, 수녀원으로 향해 사라를 다시 찾아낸다. 빌은 두려움에 떨고 있는 사라를 설득하여 수녀원 밖으로 데리고 나간다. 사람들이 보는 앞에서 아픈 사라를 집으로 데려온 빌은 그녀가 안전하다는 것을 보여주며 미소를 짓는다.
영화는 1922년부터 1998년까지 운영된 막달레나 세탁소의 여성 피해자들에게 헌정하는 것으로 마무리된다.

Small Things like These is a 2024 historical drama film directed by Tim Mielants and adapted by Enda Walsh from the 2021 novel by Claire Keegan. It stars Cillian Murphy (who also serves as a producer), Eileen Walsh, Michelle Fairley, Emily Watson, Clare Dunne, and Helen Behan. An international co-production between Ireland and Belgium, its plot focuses on the infamous Magdalene laundries in Ireland.
Small Things like These had its world premiere at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival on 15 February 2024, and was released in Ireland and the United Kingdom on 1 November 2024. It received positive reviews from critics.
Plot
Christmas 1985 approaches. Coal merchant Bill Furlong, who is regarded as a fair and hard-working man from the Irish town of New Ross, is a father of five girls. In flashbacks, Bill revisits his difficult childhood as the son of a young single mother, ostracized by her family but permitted to work for Mrs. Wilson, a wealthy and independent landowner. Interspersed with these are his memories of Ned, a farmhand on the estate who was likely his father.
Bill regularly delivers coal to the local convent, where one day he sees a teenage girl, Sarah, who begs him for help. Some time later he sets off earlier than expected and discovers Sarah locked in the shed in freezing temperatures. The girl says she will have to give birth there in five months. Bill takes Sarah back to the convent where the nuns pretend to take care of her. Sarah and Bill are led into the cozy office of Sister Mary, the convent's Mother Superior. Here, Sarah feels compelled to falsely claim she was locked in the shed by other girls while playing hide-and-seek.
After Sarah is led away, Sister Mary ominously asks Bill about his family, as both Bill's wife Eileen and Bill's eldest daughter Kathleen attended the school run by the nuns. She strongly implies that if he speaks about what he has seen she could prevent his younger daughters from attending the school. She then writes a Christmas card, inserts in the card a "gift" of cash, writes "Eileen" on the envelope, seals the envelope, and presents it to Bill. Bill takes it, and returns home more troubled than before, omitting to give the envelope to Eileen. Later Eileen asks Bill about the card, as she has met Sister Mary who told her about it. Bill gives the sealed envelope to Eileen, who is surprised to find the "gift" and wonders why Bill didn't give the envelope to her, a question that he dismisses by saying that he forgot.
Bill later visits the local pub whose owner, Mrs. Kehoe, advises Bill to toe the line and not speak out about the convent and what's going on, because of the nuns' social influence. One evening Bill goes to buy his wife a Christmas present, and on the way home sees a gift he always wanted as a child. He then walks to the convent, and opens the coal shed to find Sarah again. Bill slowly wins her reluctance dictated by fear, and walks her out of the shed and off the convent's premises. Slowly walking past acquaintances in full view, he eventually carries the ailing girl to his home. Bill welcomes her into the hearth of his family, finally smiling to show her she is safe.
The film closes with a dedication to the female victims of the Magdalene laundries, which ran from 1922 to 1998.

Production
During filming of Christopher Nolan's drama Oppenheimer, co-stars Cillian Murphy and Matt Damon struck up a conversation during the shoot, in which Murphy pitched his next project to Damon: an adaptation of Claire Keegan's 2021 novella Small Things like These. Coincidentally, Damon (alongside his longtime friend and business partner Ben Affleck) had recently launched a production company, Artists Equity, and asked Murphy if he would like to join the project to produce, which he was eager to do.[8][9] It was reported in March 2023 that Murphy, Affleck and Damon would produce the film via Artists Equity, with Damon producing alongside Drew Vinton and Jeff Robinov, and Affleck executive producing with Kevin Halloran and Michael Joe; Murphy produced alongside Alan Moloney via their production company Big Things Films. Ciarán Hinds and Emily Watson were announced to be joining Murphy in the cast. The project was revealed to be directed by Tim Mielants, from a script by Enda Walsh.[10] The film is an Irish production with additional funding coming from Screen Ireland and was co-produced with Wilder Content in Belgium.[11]
The Irish Independent reported in late 2022 and early 2023 that shooting locations for a film of the book were being sought in New Ross, County Wexford.[12][13] Deadline Hollywood reported in March 2023 that principal photography was under way,[14] with filming in County Wicklow expected to last for four weeks.[15]
Release
The film had its world premiere on 15 February 2024 at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival.[16] In June 2024, Lionsgate acquired distribution rights to the film for North America, the United Kingdom and Ireland, teaming up with Roadside Attractions for the American release.[17] It was released in Ireland and the United Kingdom on 1 November 2024, and the United States a week later on 8 November.[18]
Reception
Critical response
Small Things like These received positive reviews upon release.[19] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 93% of 102 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.7/10. The website's consensus reads: "Cillian Murphy's outstanding acting anchors Small Things Like These, elevating an occasionally enervating historical drama."[20] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 82 out of 100, based on 28 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[21]
Ben Croll from TheWrap called the film a "modest gem".[22] Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian gave the film four out of five stars and described it as an "absorbing, committed drama", stating: "I was so rapt, so caught up in this film, that I wasn't aware that it was going to be the ending until the screen faded to black."[23]
James Mottram from Radio Times also gave the film four out of five stars and called it an "understated drama that's miniature in scale but not ambition".[24] Tim Robey from The Telegraph described it as "a tight-lipped Irish drama even more suffused with sadness than the log-line implies, and shouldered with hypnotic grace by a very special Cillian Murphy".[25] Guy Lodge from Variety praised Murphy's performance, describing him as the film's "live emotional current" and saying that "Small Things Like These rests on both his quiet and his disquiet as an actor".[26]
Richard Roeper, writing for the Chicago Sun-Times, hailed the film as a masterpiece, and described Murphy's performance as "authentic to the bone, a piece of minimalist acting that avoids any attention-getting mannerisms or flamboyant tics or thundering speechifying." Roeper placed the film at number one on his annual film ranking.[27][28]
David Rooney from The Hollywood Reporter called it a moving, "somber, unhurried drama" and appreciated Murphy and Watson's performances.[7] Jonathan Romney from Screen Daily highlighted Murphy and Walsh's performances, Mielants's direction and Walsh's writing, which is "largely faithful" to the novel.[5] Rachel Pronger from IndieWire called the film a "subtler, a genuinely profound low-key gem" and appreciated Walsh's writing and Murphy, Watson and Walsh's performances.[29] Stephanie Bunbury from Deadline Hollywood lamented the film's lack of "dramatic tension", but appreciated Watson's performance.[30] Writing for RogerEbert.com, Robert Daniels noted that the film has "a promising premise that loses some steam in the final half hour".[31]

The film received nine nominations at the Irish Film and Television Awards in January 2025.[32]
