Murphy recently discussed the film’s intentionally ambiguous ending, praising its narrative approach. “The genius of the book is how it unspools,” he explained. “It leaves room for multiple interpretations—potentially optimistic or pessimistic—while representing the gradual loosening of the church’s historical grip.”
Fans can catch SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE digitally now, ahead of Murphy’s return to PEAKY BLINDERS in the upcoming movie.
