The Miracle Club is a strange movie. It starts out as a pilgrimage story following four women from Ireland, who for various reasons decide to go to the shrine at Lourdes in France. There is considerable animosity between two of the women and the character-played by Laura Linney. As the story unfolds, the reasons become clear.
The other two characters are played by Kathie Bates and Maggie Smith in a role far removed from the role of Lady Crawley on Downton Abbey.
Remarkably, the plot ends up with a discution of abortion.
The acting is superb as might be expected with the all star cast. But the cast alone cannot save the movie.. I rate it as C.
