Details

From the RT website
Small Things Like These takes place over Christmas in 1985, when devoted father and coal merchant Bill Furlong (Cillian Murphy) discovers startling secrets kept by the convent in his town, along with some shocking truths of his own. The film reveals truths about Ireland's Magdalene laundries -- horrific asylums run by Roman Catholic institutions from the 1820s until 1996, ostensibly to reform "fallen young women." Adapted from the Booker Prize nominated novel by Claire Keegan.

If the name Claire Keegan sounds familiar, her short story "Foster" was adapted in the Irish movie "The Quiet Girl" which we saw as a group. Like the viewing of that movie, we'll meetup in the CC Lobby, tend to restroom breaks and head over Grainne O'Malley's a few blocks down Harvard AVe. to dine and discuss. The Pats should be done getting thrashed by the Rams by then.
