Small Things Like These

It seems that the film will be shown in Russia in the spring. The distributor is indicated on the Film search.

The film is still 9 days away. Maishauz experts are already evaluating the new product at 2.5

An average movie, a very sad and difficult plot.
But it makes all the characters worry very much. On the one hand: this is to help a poor girl, on the other hand: a big family that needs to be fed. Seeing all the crimes, the hero still does not stay away. Kylian Murphy is very good as always

This dark, cold and hopeless film only lifts the veil on the events that took place in the "laundries of the concentration camps" of Mary Magdalene in Ireland.
(I can recommend another film made on this topic, the Sisters of Magdalene in 2002. But, like any work of fiction, it will not convey all the horror that really happened.)
Initially, such shelters were created to re-educate girls who were "undesirable to society", but over time they turned into a real religious prison, making slaves of women, forcing them to work hard and hard without any pay, mentally and physically mocking them, and not allowing them to legally and freely leave this place. Girls could end up in such shelters for any reason: whether you were a single mother, an unfaithful wife, a rape victim, or you had health problems.
The scariest thing is that it has become commonplace and such "little things of life" have become the norm.

Cillian Murphy is gorgeous as always. Such roles are very suitable for him, because I can't remember at least one movie I watched with his participation, where he would play a happy and joyful character.

And the film is rather not about the Magdalene orphanage itself, but about the inner struggle of a person: are you ready to fight the system or will you turn a blind eye to injustice, like everyone else.

I liked that the ordinariness, the familiarity of everything that happens around is shown through the protagonist. How he notices injustice and violence and cannot put up with it, how he makes decisions to remain human, even with a threat to his well-being. Killian - I can't take my eyes off! The appeal of his doomed gaze as a separate art form.

A film about caring.
Kilian, as always, perfectly conveyed all the moods and atmosphere of the place and people where he lives. Going through personal traumas and experiences, he can't stand by and just watch. By his actions, he is losing hope for the best.

It's hard to call the film boring, although it has little dynamics. Rather, I would say that the painting leaves room for reflection right while watching. It is impossible to put yourself in the place of the main character to the end, because he is not just a caring person. The situation affects him directly through his experience. I also liked the thought I read somewhere that the movie ended where it was supposed to start. It's not a bad thing, but many viewers still have this feeling, judging by the discussions in the cinema after watching it.
