Congratulations to the Catholic Church for being the only force within Ireland as evil as the British Empire
cillian murphy weaponising the peaky blinders crowd so an indie film about abusive catholic nuns is a box office hit
cillian playing a girl dad on screen has changed me in monumental ways that i cannot explain
Depressive Cillian Murphy please save me
The most anxious man in Ireland
some filth just can’t be washed away
The mournful score and chilly, bleak visual soul serve as a fitting backdrop. Cillian Murphy once again adds utmost gravitas to the truly difficult part tinged with childhood trauma, but one that I believe actually detracts from the film due to its prominence - almost entering saviour territory. Now obviously the aim is to showcase the blind eye everyday people clearly had towards the obvious ongoings, but as the end credits started to roll, I couldn't help but wish that this had focused just slightly more on those impacted by the extensively atrocious events, delivering a genuine glimpse into the church's deception and a room to remember those who suffered, as well as a character study with some actual complexity and flashbacks…
Organized religion don’t be weird challenge: impossible.
Edit:
I like this film more the more that I think about it, I haven’t stopped periodically falling into melancholy, struck by the images from last night.
“If you want to get on in this world there are things you have to ignore.”
Disgustingly accurate to how many feel.
cillian murphy the man that you are
sometimes the side chick isn’t even a chick it’s the traumatised nation of Ireland
this man can't ever play a happy role?
i know the role of a deeply troubled man hates to see cillian coming
