In this episode of the podcast, Alex discusses why the excellent new Cillian Murphy movie, Small Things Like These, is so hard to see and yet very easy to see compared to other films of its ilk.

Last week on the podcast, Alex recommended the Cillian Murphy Irish drama Small Things Like These, directed by Tim Mielants.
A listener raised that the film had terrible distribution, so in this episode, Alex looks at why it’s so hard to see Small Things Like These. She compares the film’s distribution to other Cillian Murphy independent films, other films in this year’s Berlinale Competition (where Small Things premiered), and other niche films starring even bigger stars.
Unfortunately, while the distribution for Small Things Like These is frustratingly bad, it’s actually pretty good for a film of its ilk.
