Chaotic Compassion Clash

I went in expecting something like Small Things Like These, but Steve hits way harder and messier. It's a 24-hour spiral through a reform school headmaster's breakdown, and man, it's a lot. Cillian Murphy's performance is magnetic - he's exhausted, kind, and unraveling all at once. But the film itself? Kind of a sensory overload.The camera never sits still, the script throws too many characters at you, and the emotional beats feel rushed. I wanted more time with Shy, the kid at the heart of it all, but the movie keeps yanking focus back to Steve. It's like the story forgot who it was really about.Still, there's something raw and honest in how it shows the burnout of caring too much. It's not inspirational, not tidy, but it's bold. Not for everyone, though. If you like quiet drama, this'll feel like a punch in the face. But if you're into chaotic empathy and don't mind a bit of narrative mess, it's worth the ride. Just don't expect closure.

Wow, I'm incredibly impressed by these minimal yet super important stories that Cillian Murphy and his director Tim Mielants (after Small Things like These in 2024) are putting forward. It won't be wrong to call this a very desolate piece (particularly on the declining state of mental health), but it's also very character-focused, performance-driven, and visually enticing. Murphy's close-ups tell one story, but the film is not his alone. Tracey Ullman, Jay Lycurgo (what an actor, good lord!), Little Simz, Emily Watson, and the rest of the young cast -- y'all deserve a standing ovation! The film traces a pivotal 24 hours in the lives of those at Stanton Wood, a correction school. There's always so much going on, but all the torn-up fragments are cleverly brought together by having a documentary/news crew visiting the site, interviewing the staff and students, giving insights into each of the main characters. Another subplot regarding the school's future unfolds backstage, adding to the staff's (particularly Steve's) woes.Murphy's Oscar win is probably helping him give life (and funding) to passion projects like this, and he continues to put on incredible performances that are worthy of deeper study. I absolutely found the equation between Steve and the students to be riveting; we sometimes get scenes or snippets of Steve's interactions with each one of them, and it effortlessly becomes clear how much he cares. Only the audiences get to see Steve boozing on the job, because he's clearly having a worse day compared to the rest. At one point, we even see him hallucinate out of exhaustion, helplessness, and relentless negativity around him. DP Robrecht Heyvaert (a frequent collaborator Adil & Bilal, Bad Boys 3 & 4) mostly uses close-ups to capture the dramatic intensity, but there's one (drone?) shot that moves from space to space within the compound that describes the school's state of beautifully piled-up chaos.

How was your day?

Greetings again from the darkness. You know those days when it feels like you are being pulled in all directions, and nothing seems to go right? Welcome to 24 hours in the life of Steve, the headteacher at Stanton Wood, a reform boarding college for troubled/challenging young men. This is one of those days that feels like a week. Even before he walks through the front door, he's already getting pulled this way and that - a minute here, a quick decision there, a request for a sidebar, a need to run something by him. It's a relentless job, heightened by the presence of a BBC documentary crew.Writer Max Porter adapted his 2023 novel "Shy" for the big screen, and the film reunites director Tim Mielants with Cillian Murphy (Oscar winner for OPPENHEIMER, 2023), his leading man from SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE (2024) and "Peaky Blinders". Murphy is one of the few actors who is somehow just as effective when he's not talking as when he is. It's a skill that benefits this film which is ... choose your preferred descriptive word ... frenetic, chaotic, hectic.These students are certainly energetic and that energy often slips into a combative mode. The faculty spends an inordinate amount of time diffusing these conflicts. We only see bits and pieces of academic teaching, leaving the bulk of time devoted to life lessons and behavioral advice. Emily Watson plays the school psychiatrist/therapist, Jenny, and as with all the adults working at Stanton Wood, her heart is in the right place - regardless of the immense frustration that goes with the job. Tracey Ullman, flashing some dramatic chops, is Steve's most supportive co-worker - and quickly expresses her displeasure at his tendency to self-medicate. Lola (Little Simz) is the newest faculty member, and she has one particularly tense scene in the cafeteria ... proving her mettle in this environment.The source novel is entitled "Shy", and although Steve is the focus of the film, the student named Shy (Jay Lycurgo, "Titans") seems to be a special case for Steve, and Shy's phone conversation with his mother is the most heartbreaking moment in the film. When it is announced that the school is too expensive to run and will be shut down in six months, the presence of a local official (Roger Allam) leaves little doubt that a political message is being delivered. A recurring element finds the documentary crew asking each participant to name three words that describe themselves. Steve's response: "very, very, tired". He looks it and we understand. Some nice camera work from cinematographer Robrecht Heyvaert gives us glimpses of a lovely world outside the walls of Stanton Wood, whereas inside the stress is palpable.Premiering on Netflix on October 3, 2025.
