The Miracle Club

It's like a feel-good Christmas movie, but without the Christmas theme coming with it. You get instead a great cast and a beautiful little story. Loved it!

A sweet film. Dreadful "Irish" accents, but a sweet film nonetheless.

'The Miracle Club' packs a fair punch, even if it never truly hits as perhaps intended - at least for me, of course. It does get darker than expected, the characters onscreen certainly do carry a load of baggage; poster-based pun not intended. I do appreciate that element, still.

Maggie Smith stars in her final film role, as Laura Linney, Kathy Bates and Agnes O'Casey feature as prominently. None of them give overly good or bad showings, though Linney did feel a little weaker than the rest; or perhaps just more guarded, as intended. Bates narrowly stands out most, either way.

There is heart in what it attempts to portray, admittedly I'm not sold that everything is as wrapped up as the film appears to suggest with its conclusion. I do think a different end for Daniel would've been better, for example. There is undoubtedly some sturdiness scattered in there, mind.

Forgettable, but passable.

Its a miracle I didn't all asleep while watching this movie. The cast is good but the story is lacklustre and slightly dull.
