Waiting for the Miracle to Come

'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.

I daresay my opinion is only one of the nine billion that there are on this Earth, but I found this picture one of the most boring and hard to understand ones I've looked at in a long time. I feel that watching paint dry might have been more interesting.

Compounding my inability to completely understand the story was that some of the lines were mumbled by the leading lass to the point of being incomprehensible.

No doubt it'll most probably be lauded as an art film by the Chardonnay set.

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!

Sile Bermingham who plays the woman they are waiting for is terrific and she's a beauty! And I thought Willie Nelson was very believable and likeable.

I give it at least a couple of stars for trying to be creative. This is a very low budget film, but it's trying to convey mystery and a sort of magical mysticism, so if you have some patience, it's worth a look.
