Sometimes the best movies are a little hard to watch, and that’s the case with “Small Things Like These." This historical drama starring Cillian Murphy is masterfully made, but it’s certainly not a film created to entertain. But that doesn’t mean I don’t thoroughly recommend it all the same. It’s one of the most emotionally impactful flicks I watched in 2024 (and I saw more than 100 in theaters).
Despite its seasonal setting, “Small Things Like These” has flown under the radar with big-budget (and more accessible) Christmas flicks getting the spotlight. Now that this Tim Mielants-directed movie has arrived on premium video-on-demand streaming (you can watch with purchase on Amazon and Apple), I’m hoping a few more people will give it a chance over the holiday season.
