It's odd. "Miracle Club" has some really nice acting even though I must admit that the folks were mostly miscast. After all, it's a story about Irish women...and one is played by a Scot (Maggie Smith) and the other an American (Kathy Bates)...and they should have gotten Irish actors. But, considering everything, the story still works because although miscast, the actresses are terrific.
As for the story, it seems more like a backdrop or excuse to get these and several other lovely actresses together. It all is about pilgrimage to Lourdes in 1967 and follows the death of a woman...and her long absent daughter (Laura Linney) arrives for the service and the trip to Lourdes that follows.
This film is like a nice pair of fuzzy socks, a favorite robe and a comfy chair...nothing amazing but also very pleasant and sweet.
