The critics love this one, and for good reason—it's a thoughtful, character-driven drama about complicity and moral reckoning in a deeply flawed institution. The IMDb score's a bit soft, but the critical consensus is strong enough that you should watch it tonight if you're in the mood for something sobering and substantive.

Plot

In 1985, while working as a coal merchant to support his family, Bill Furlong 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.
