The Miracle Club (2023)
Oscar winners Dame Maggie Smith and Kathy Bates co-star with Oscar nominee Laura Linney in The Miracle Club, a story of friends who win the trip of a lifetime: a pilgrimage from Dublin to Lourdes that seems like the personal miracle they all need. But when they are joined by Chrissie, returning to Dublin after decades in America, deep wounds from the past are re-opened.
Directed by Emmy and BAFTA nominee Thaddeus O’Sullivan, The Miracle Club also stars Oscar nominee Stephen Rea (The English) and Agnes O’Casey, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 2024 Irish Film and Television Awards for her role as Dolly.
“The transcendent performances of this dream cast are alternately hilarious and heartbreaking,” says Saturday Evening Post. “We get to see Kathy Bates crooning ‘He’s So Fine’ in a church talent show, with 88-year-old Maggie Smith shimmying behind her as a backup singer. That alone, dear reader, is worth the price of admission, and then some.”
