Small Things like These
I miss the days when you could make a side-scrolling video game adaptation about any movie because depressed Oppenheimer vs evil nuns would make millions.
A fantastic & gloomy drama set during Christmas time in the mid-80s in Ireland that highlights the Magdalene Laundries situation. The movie does a great job of being slow-paced, quiet, and introspective but has a sense of mystery and being confronted with a moral predicament that's all told through Cillian Murphy's incredible & understated performance. I love how this movie looks and moves and it makes you feel like you're right there with Cillian Murphy going through all the different emotions that are happening almost in a documentary style in certain scenes. Overall, I really enjoyed it, it's definitely one of the types of smaller well-made adult dramas that usually don't get the award season recognition that I always look forward to every year.
