Following his Academy Award and BAFTA-winning success as Oppenheimer, Cillian Murphy delivers a stunning performance as devoted, hardworking father Bill Furlong in this adaptation of the bestselling novel of the same name by Claire Keegan. While working as a coal merchant to support his family, Bill discovers disturbing secrets kept by the local convent - and uncovers truths of his own - forcing him to confront his past and the complicit silence of a small Irish town controlled by the Catholic Church. Tim Mielants' powerful Magdalene Laundries drama addresses a dark chapter in Irish history and boasts an impressive supporting cast that includes Michelle Fairley, Eileen Walsh, Clare Dunne, Helen Behan, and Emily Watson.
