Small Things Like These is a haunting exploration of sorrow and human resilience, beautifully brought to life by Cillian Murphy’s fantastic performance. His portrayal carries the weight of the film’s somber themes, while the supporting cast complements him superbly, adding depth to the narrative. The overall tone is undeniably depressing, enveloping viewers in a pervasive sense of emptiness. The dreary setting enhances this mood, effectively mirroring the characters’ struggles. While the film is a poignant reflection on life’s burdens, its heavy nature may leave some viewers feeling desolate, prompting deep reflection long after the credits roll.
