Does anyone know where can I watch the short film Harriet and the Matches, that cillian did a narration for?

Hey all, I discovered that you can see Kensuke's Kingdom on streaming! Basically, Apple TV has it for $5 to rent or $10 to buy. If you are a member of a certain library, you can rent it for free through Hoopla. If your local library doesn't support them look for the nearest one that does and see if you an apply for a library card through them to access it. I live in NYC and the NYPL doesn't support it but the Queens Library does. Even though I don't live in Queens, I can get it through them. So, it is worth trying. Happy Watching and Good Luck!

A new interview of Cillian by Tom Power on CBC Radio, Canada. Powers's shows are always interesting, mostly musicians.

It makes for a good interview when Cillian is relaxed.

Did Cillian do the grunting on A Bit About Ghosts by Teho Teardo? There is a bunch of I guess male and female grunting on this for a lack of a better description. I’ve never had any luck on figuring out who the people who are grunting in this song are. It wouldn’t be out of the line to think it could be Teho or Cillian because Cillian was in Grief is the Thing with Feathers (where this song is from) and he likes to make music too.

Saw this at the theater last night. Had not read book - only went in knowing it took place in 1985 Ireland and was a subversion of the church story. I thought the movie was quietly and delicately crafted, which lent to its power, although it does require patience and attention - it is a story, not an action movie. Performances were very strong, particularly lead character Cillian Murphy. I was not familiar with the other actors. My recommendation is to review the history of the Magdelene laundries prior to watching. I didn't review until after, and I was a little lost during the movie. Am interested in other's impressions, particularly of ending

I absolutely loved the movie (I saw it twice this past weekend) but I’m so sad that it’s leaving theaters in my area after less than a week. I know a lot of big movies are coming out late November and through December so I can see why. But does anyone know if they’ll maybe bring it back to theaters after the holidays?

I am in Adelaide for two weeks and I would really appreciate if someone can answer this. I really can't wait to watch the movie!

I saw Small Things Like These tonight. It was showing at a small theater in the midwestern United States and there were only four people there.

Nobody stood up when the film ended. When someone eventually did so, we all followed. But the one who stood first turned around and said: “can we talk about what we just watched?”

So we did. I’ve never had that kind of experience with strangers, and I’m also very introverted, but witnessing firsthand how a film can be so profound and impactful enough to have a group of strangers stand around, talking for a good half hour after a film ends, was encouraging.

I had read the book about a year ago, but the film exceeded my (already high) expectations.

stop reading if you don’t want spoilers

A few things that stood out to me: Bill washing his hands. The way that he scrubbed his hands more vigorously as the film went on. After he went to the convent, like he was trying to wash away what he had seen. The way that Bill fell to the floor in the bathroom. I never thought that hand washing could add so much to a film.

Something towards the beginning was said about inviting someone to Christmas and when Bill asks Eileen if she’s sure, she says something along the lines of “what’s one more person.” And then at the end, he brings the girl into his house and it’s Christmas Eve. I’m probably stretching for a connection, but those two moments (in my mind) were similar reflections of a mutual compassion towards others that is shared between the Bill and Eileen, even if that compassion manifests in different ways.

The scene of Bill (attempting to) get a haircut was wonderful and heartbreaking. The few tears as he just sat there. I had a similar reaction as I sat in the theater. Such a good scene 😭

His interactions with the girl at the end. When she falls on the bridge and it seems like Bill didn’t know what to do at first, the way that she held onto his arm as she cried. Taking her hand and walking her inside his house on Christmas Eve. All sooo good.

Please see this film if you’re able. It was lovely, so well done, the entire cast - no matter how much screen time they have - was phenomenal. I think I’ll need to go and see this again to really take it all in.

He gives another masterclass in acting in this film without having to speak much. It’s all in his face, it’s all in those unreal eyes. The film as a whole is really really special and moving. Take some tissues with you because you’ll need them 🩵

I sent AMC a message asking if they would have any Manhattan showtimes. They said no. I was strolling around Manhattan and look what I stumble on! No trip to NJ or Long Island for me!

Will they release this movie in the US again? I missed the random dates; it was in the NYC area, and I was not aware it was playing. I saw on their website dates for random places around the world but no dates for the US. Is there any way to see it? I tried streaming services but looks like no dice outside of the UK. Hopefully, Steve will come to the American Netflix, and I have a ticket for Small Things Like These in a cinema not too far. I am surprised that these movies are so hard to find since Cillian just won an Oscar. I would think they would want to try and plaster his stuff everywhere while he is still hot in the general public's eye.

I love how evidently proud of this heartfelt film he is, and how it’s going to help spark important and much needed conversations ❤️

Snippet where he talks about Aran that's very sweet ❤️:

“It may not be the thing he does, but he’s really good at it,” he says. “One of my friends saw him in a play and said, ‘Cill, he’s better looking, he’s a better actor, he’s younger and he’s taller. You’re f---ed.’ We’ll see. People are smart enough to judge you on your talent. There’s no way any kid will get by on nepotism alone. Everyone in this business gets found out unless they’re good, and he’s a good little actor. But we’re not putting him under any pressure. If he decides to become a musician or a poet or a farmer or a chef, that’s up to him.”
