In 1985, devout Father Bill Furlong uncovers disturbing secrets held by the local monastery and reveals shocking truths about himself. Cillian Murphy is a fan of the original novel by author Claire Keegan. He remembers reading her novel “Foster” on the train and having to put a hoodie over his face because he was crying.. Eileen Furlong: If you want to succeed in this life, there are things you have to ignore.. More than 56,000 young women who were sent to Magdalene institutions for “repentance and rehabilitation” from 1922 to 1998. And the children who were taken from them.. Screened in 60 Minutes: Red Sea Crisis/False Voters/The Search for Cillian Murphy (2024). My eyes were absolutely glued to the screen from start to finish while watching this film. The number of walls without dialogue that have so much atmosphere and emotion is simply incredible. Cillian Murphy is absolutely amazing in this movie, as I expected. But the emotions he shows in this movie and the way he works through his body language and facial expressions are just magnificent. He really is one of the best actors of this generation. Emily Watson is amazing as the Mother Superior. The tension she brings to every wall is amazing. It really shows how horrible some of the nuns were back then. This movie has a perfect runtime of 1 hour and 45 minutes. It even felt longer because of how engrossed I was in it. The music and cinematography were so simple yet so effective. They both really added so much to the movie and just gave it the finishing touches it needed. Overall, this movie was absolutely amazing and so much fun to watch. I would love to see more movies like this in the future. It was also nice to learn more about my country’s history, even if it’s the dark side of it. “If you want to succeed in life, there are things you have to ignore in order to keep living.” Eileen Furlong.
