The Girl Who Believes in Miracles

Well, this movie was likely more of a 3 or 4 in terms of an overall score however it's such a feel good message that it ups the score a bit in my book. And, that message isn't that it's necessarily about God but that it's a good message in a time where society needs to hear these good messages more than ever.

The young girl who is at the heart of the story does a great job with the script she's dealt. Up beat, sweet kid that reminds me a lot of Hayden Panettiere as a child actress. Mira Sorvino, Peter Coyote and Kevin Sorbo also do a great job, all things considered. I believe the scenery is all Oklahoma which was nice.

I'm a fairly agnostic person regarding religion but I have to say that we absolutely need more mainstream movies that have good moral messages about life and this one doesn't disappoint. It's obviously a lower budget movie that lacks a bit in the story line, directing, editing and overall budget BUT you leave the movie taking more from it than you give. And, that's fairly rare in 2021. Is it a 6? Probably not but the message is a 10!

A feel good Christian indie emphasizing miracles for those who believe in God. I'm not Christian but sometimes it's nice to watch a movie with a positive message even though I don't believe there are such "miracles." Don't expect Oscar winning performances but enjoy for the positive message.

The Girl Who Believes In Miracles is a lukewarm Christian movie with a weak storyline. The few heartwarming scenes aren't quite enough to keep this film afloat. With a strong performance by the ensemble's youngest actress, the movie does not have enough storytelling to deliver a wholly satisfying movie experience.

The Girl Who Believes In Miracles centers around a little girl named Sarah (Austyn Johnson) who has seen God and can grant miracles. She helps cancer patients, and even blind and paralyzed teens. All the while, Sarah's fame increases, with people knocking on her door to grant miracles. Sarah's health declines, too, but she keeps up her faith.

The movie makes it clear from the beginning that Jesus is praised, and that this is not a modern version of the Messiah's story. It is unclear, though, why Sarah holds this power to grant miracles as she has done nothing significant except have faith. The Girl Who Believes In Miracles is confusing in this way and may leave the audience wondering, "Can anyone be a Messiah?" However, the actors deliver empowering performances. In the scenes in which Sarah's health weakens, her suffering is absolutely heartbreaking. Austyn really has the audience pulling for her. Sarah's grandfather, Sam (Peter Coyote), also has a heartfelt monologue in which he talks to God and says he would rather die than Sarah. His love shines through, along with his pain, creating a tear-jerking scene.

The moral of this film is to always let faith guide you. Even as Sarah's health declines, she never loses her faith. She stands by God and understands that everything happens for a reason, unlike her family who try to fight the ticking clock. As a Christian, I did find the film somewhat offensive in its message that anyone with faith can perform miracles.

I give The Girl Who Believes In Miracles 3 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 10 to 18, plus adults. Reviewed by Heather S., KIDS FIRST!

In a time when nothing but filth, crime, perversion, and empty value is mainstream coming out of Hollywood, this movie proves to offer everything the movie-goer wants and desires. Uplifting, positive, encouraging, hope, kindness, family, friendship, loyalty, truth, and most of all... love!

We all loved this movie. It was well worth the money spent and the time. All the actors were stellar in their performances. The story-line was beautifully done and rendered in a way that wasn't religious, but revealing and heart-warming.

The entire family can watch this movie... something hard to find these days out of Hollywood. That in itself makes it a jewel filled with great value for your entertainment dollar. Go see this movie, buy it, or rent it... you won't be disappointed.

Wow! What a surprise. I really like this movie. This is a Christian film but you don't have to be religious or even a Christian to enjoy this wonderful movie.

The story begins in church when a young girl, Sarah (Austyn Johnson) hears the preacher say ''Faith can become so strong that it can move a mountain'' we see in Sarah's eyes, she just believes and takes God at His word. So she starts praying...and miracles start happening. Sarah prays for a dead bird, and comes back to life, a dog is hit by a car and seems dead, she prays over the dog and he jumps up back to life. Sarah's paralyzed friend Mark, literally gets up and walks out of the doctor's office.

Word spreads very quickly that Sarah is a miracle worker and very soon people come to Sarah's house from all over the community to be healed. But then Sarah gets sick and is taken to the hospital. Can the Healer heal herself? Will God give Sarah another miracle?

The film is so positive and uplifting and some really good actors...Mira Sorvino, Peter Coyote, and Kevin Sorbo.

The true message is Anything is possible if you have faith in God.

(I give the film 4 Stars because the low budget look)
