Movie #3456 "Miracle Club" (Netflix) We got to wondering what was the last thing that Maggie Smith did , and found this little film so we watched it. There isn't much of a plot, and there's not a lot of information given at the beginning of the film to easily jump into it --- viewer has lots of questions that are answered as the story goes forward --- for example, there's a little boy who doesn't talk, and his mom wants to take him to Lourdes for a miracle to give him his speech --- but we don't know for a long time why he is the way he is. There are 4 main women, and they all have baggage; they are all related in some way; they all have reasons to go to Lourdes' and they are all very good actors. Weave those all together and you have the story of this film. Don't expect a lot of action. In fact, it is a very quiet film, where people only say essential things to each other, and you have to guess about the rest. But it could be powerful if you buy into their individual stories that brought them together. I'd give it a 4.
