Cillian Murphy’s ‘Small Things Like These’ Debuts With 100% on Rotten Tomatoes Following Berlin Film Festival Premiere, Murphy’s Performance in Particular Receives Praise: “Profound & Intense”
"Cillian Murphy adds another startling performance to his résumé."
The new film, which marks the star's first major role after Oppenheimer, focuses on Ireland's Magdalene Laundries, which were horrific asylums run by Roman Catholic institutions between the 18th and late 20th centuries. Small Things Like These, which is based on the Claire Keegan book, premiered last night (February 15) at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival, landing the highest possible score on Rotten Tomatoes (at the time of writing). "It’s Murphy’s exquisitely pained performance, unclenching by fine degrees into something like grace, that gives Small Things Like These its eventual, fist-in-the-gut power, even as the film evades melodramatic confrontation to the last, ending elegantly at a point where many other stories might choose to begin."
