If you loved Steve, try Small Things Like These
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Tim Mielants, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Steve, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Small Things Like These is
The year is 1985, Bill Furlong runs a coal business in a small Irish town still steered by the Catholic Church when he stumbles into the convent’s dark corners. Old bones and forgotten paperwork drag up questions about complicity and what Bill’s own childhood might have meant. A quietly devastating answer arrives in the coal sack—one that forces him to deliver small things that weigh more than coal.
