In 1985, devoted father Bill Furlong discovers disturbing secrets kept by the local monastery and reveals shocking truths about himself. Cillian Murphy is a fan of the original novel by the film writer Claire Keegan. He remembers reading her novel “Foster” on the train and he had to pull a hoodie over his face because he was crying.. Eileen Furlong: If you want to succeed in this life, there are things you must ignore.. More than 56,000 young women who were sent to Magdalene institutions for “repentance and rehabilitation” in the period from 1922 to 1998. And to the children who were taken from them.. Shown in 60 Minutes: Crisis in the Red Sea/Fake Electors/Finding Cillian Murphy (2024). My eyes were absolutely glued to the screen from start to finish while watching this movie. The number of dialogue-free walls that have so much atmosphere and emotion is simply incredible. Cillian Murphy is absolutely amazing in this movie, as I expected. But the emotions he shows in this film, and the way he works through his body language and facial expressions, is simply magnificent. He is really one of the best actors of this generation. Emily Watson is amazing as the Mother Superior. The tension she brings to every wall is fantastic. It really shows how horrible some of the nuns were back then. This movie has a perfect duration of 1 hour and 45 minutes. It even seemed longer because of how absorbed I was in it. The music and cinematography were so simple but so effective. They both really added a lot to the film and just gave it the finishing touches it needed. Overall, this movie was absolutely amazing and very enjoyable to watch. I would like to see more such films in the future. It was also great to learn more about the history of my country, even if it is its dark side. “If you want to succeed in life, there are things you have to ignore so you can go on living.” Eileen Furlong.
