Waiting for the Miracle to Come

"Waiting for the Miracle to Come" is a nice fairy tale of a movie. It's slow in pace, but beautiful to look at. The real emotional gravity comes when Sile Bermingham is on screen! Also, Willie Nelson is a stand out in a very nuanced role. Worth a watch.

This film, while not perfectly written, is an beautiful, emotionally nuanced study of life and loss, accentuated by the understated acting of the rising star of "Blow The Man Down," Sophie Lowe. Her presence gives a luminescence to the earlier scenes that keeps one's attention as the story slowly unfolds. Add in the fine acting work by Charlotte Rampling and Willie Nelson, and the dreamy lighting and mood achieved by documentary veteran Lian Lunson, and you have all the elements of a impressive feature debut.

She was at shock mode all through the movie, hardly spoke, and only with weak and fainted voice. She missed it all, she didn't get it. She didn't understand the task she had coz wasn't brilliant at all. Late darling, you reacted too late, shameful, is a pity you been such a zombie instead of running and screaming about what you'd found out!!!

'Waiting for the Miracle to Come' was a breath of fresh air. Theres such cynicism from movie goers and 'reviewers' nowadays. If a film isn't a part of the DC/Marvel world, full of formulaic explosions adolescent story lines it seems to get relegated to the back stacks immediately. This movie had no superheroes, instead just a touching story, a wholesome narrative of believing in something and some great acting. Specifically Willie Nelson and Charlotte Rampling playing off each other but especially Sile Bermingham who really moved me at the end of the film -some fantastic stuff there.

This movie's plot is all over the place. Besides being uninteresting, the main character's quest has no bigger picture. The supporting characters are loosely related to one another, with no clear sense of why interactions need to happen. The worst scene is the trapeze scene. I have seen zero budget short films on YouTube executed better than this. This film goes to show that wealth needs to be redistributed so that people with very great ideas can invest in them, while people with not so great ideas don't have the means to execute them poorly. I hope the filmmakers see this and create something better. I appreciate the effort!
