La Fille qui croyait aux miracles

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)

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!

Normally, I am not a fan of religious/Christianity films. I saw the trailer for The Girl Who Believes in Miracles, and it somehow spoke to me. Main story includes little girl who "suddenly" can help veterans and her disabled wheel chair friend, can walk again. We see her and her brother at a lake bringing a dead bird back to life, and she realizes this was "God" asking for "help."

Pastor is skeptic, Doctor is skeptic . While the little girl is " curing miracles", she gets dearly ill, stays in the hospital and grandpa takes her back to the lake for " God to wake her up.'' We find out latter, I didn't have powers, you all can cure your disability's if you close your eyes.

Sure, this was a cheap budget, but the message was really sweet and the supporting cast really worked well together.

This is a definite watch.

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.
