SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE arrives in cinemas on November 1, marking another significant milestone in Murphy’s increasingly impressive filmography.
In his latest venture, Murphy, 48, portrays Bill Furlong in a period drama set in 1985 Ireland. The film, which he personally championed, originated during his time on the OPPENHEIMER set, where he pitched the concept to Matt Damon, describing it as “a little bit Manchester By The Sea meets Doubt.” Damon’s production company, Artist’s Equity, later took on the project.
Based on Claire Keegan’s acclaimed novel, Murphy speaks passionately about the adaptation: “Claire’s story was so perfect and magnificent in its brevity and what it captured, and it moved people and I felt for us, it was our challenge to kind of make a film that did justice to the novel. I never would like to be prescriptive about what people take from film. I just hope that they enjoy it and that maybe, maybe it gets them talking.”
