Steve

Steve (2025) is an Irish drama you can watch online on iFILM. Cillian Murphy plays the head teacher of a last-chance reform school — the kind of place students end up after every other option has closed. The film takes place over a single day, and that compression is the whole design.

Director Tim Miliants keeps the camera close as Steve tries to hold the institution, the students, and himself together with whatever he has left. Tracy Ullman, Emily Watson, and Roger Allam play the surrounding figures — colleagues, administrators, people who mean well but pull in different directions. Jaylen Barron and Youssef Kerkour are among the students he's fighting for.

Murphy plays this one inward — no speeches, no breakdown, just a man absorbing pressure that keeps mounting. It's the quieter end of his range, and that's exactly what makes it worth watching. Stream Steve (2025) online on iFILM.
