Introducing 60 Minutes: The Red Sea Crisis / The Fake Voters / Finding Cillian Murphy (2024). My eyes were completely glued to the screen from start to finish watching this film. The number of scenes with zero dialogue, yet so much atmosphere and emotion, is simply incredible. Cillian Murphy is absolutely amazing in this movie, as I expected him to be. . But the emotions he shows in this movie and the way he acts with his body language and facial expressions are absolutely amazing. He is truly one of the best actors of this generation. Emily Watson is amazing as the superior. The tension she brings to every scene is fantastic. It really shows how horrible some nuns were back then. The total running time of this movie was 1 hour and 45 minutes. It felt even longer because I was so deeply immersed in it. The score and cinematography were both so simple yet so effective. They both really added a lot to the movie and just gave it the finishing touch it needed. Overall this movie was absolutely amazing and it was a very enjoyable watch. I would love to see more movies like this in the future. It was also great to learn more about my country’s history, even if it was its dark side."If you want to get on in life, you have to ignore things so you can keep going." Eileen Furlong.
