The latest trailer for Cillian Murphy’s first post-Oppenheimer movie, Small Things Like These, has arrived – and it offers a window into an Irish town filled with uncomfortable secrets.
In the trailer, which you can see above, Bill’s idyllic home life with a wife and five daughters is sharply contrasted with a scene outside it, one which features a young girl being dragged away. As Bill investigates further, he is – as per the movie’s logline – forced to “confront his past and the complicit silence of a small Irish town controlled by the Catholic Church.”
The early reviews for Small Things Like These from February are overwhelmingly positive, withThe Guardian’s Peter Bradshawgiving it four stars, describing it as an “absorbing, committed drama.“Next Best Picture’s Katie Luxfordwrote that the movie was “a beautiful exploration of the grief that destroyed generations of families.” Might this be another project that propels this year’s Best Actor recipient into another awards season?
Murphy is also set to appear in Netflix’s Peaky Blinders movie alongside the likes of series newcomersRebecca Ferguson and Barry Keoghan.
Small Things Like These is released in cinemas on November 8. You can read more about the new film inthe latest issue of Total Film, out now. Inside,we speak to star Emily Watson.
