Waiting for the Miracle to Come

If you have the patience to get through the first thirty minutes of Lian Lunson's directorial debut then the reward is well worth waiting for. 'Waiting For the Miracle To Come' may feel sludgy and over indulgent at first however, once tuned in to the wavelength of Lunson, the movie slowly unravels to reveal a story that is both powerful and moving.

As expected, intelligent and sensitive performances from Charlotte Rampling and Willie Nelson alongside the exemplary Sile Bermingham.

"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.

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.

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.

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!
