A Menina Que Acredita em Milagres

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)

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.

Is there a way to currently watch this movie outside the U. S?

I'm not religious at all, but I'm moved to tears! This film is not preachy, but tells a story of profound hope and faith. The girl touched many hearts in the film, and has touched me too.
