I give it at least a couple of stars for trying to be creative. This is a very low budget film, but it's trying to convey mystery and a sort of magical mysticism, so if you have some patience, it's worth a look.

Low budget but not awful

Interesting. That's it. Rerun of Criminal Minds would be better.

Look, I don't review movies because I'm a little too blunt, but, since there was nothing here, i decided to throw one out there. Even though I went to film school and worked in Hollywood, I am not a "Reviewer".
This movie's plot is very weak and the story telling of it is all over the place. I ended up following one story line, only to have it end without explanation. Ultimately, I hung on only to see if something paid off, only to have it plod along, A to B to C to D, then end abruptly. Even the big ending, mother and daughter finally meeting each other, was two women staring and gazing into each other's eyes. Really, after 50+ years that's it? What about the house, what about the Gold?
Charlotte Rampling looked great, as did Sophie Lowe, even though she came off as creepy. Willie played an old man, no stretch there.
Visually this is hard to watch. They cranked up the yellow and greens, while removing contrast, leaving everything washed out. I don't know if the yellowing was supposed to convey age but it didn't work.
You know the movie. The one where it looks like it might be going somewhere new, so you sit and wait for something to reach out, only to have it end. Then you stare at the screen and say "what the hell was that?", and you feel you would have been better off not watching it.

The film is about a female trapeze artist want to solve the mystery of a letter her father give her! She follow the letter instruction to a place and found out the two people live in the place is actually her grandparents! She need to help them, because they get evicted! That's all! Entire movie keep showing us the trapeze artist slow motion! Really make me asleep! One of the worst movie of the year! The only good thing is, the girl is pretty like angel! Lol!
Do not watch this
iamshunaji23 February 2020
This movie's plot is all over the place. Besides being uninteresting, the main character's quest has no bigger picture. The supporting characters are loosely related to one another, with no clear sense of why interactions need to happen. The worst scene is the trapeze scene. I have seen zero budget short films on YouTube executed better than this. This film goes to show that wealth needs to be redistributed so that people with very great ideas can invest in them, while people with not so great ideas don't have the means to execute them poorly. I hope the filmmakers see this and create something better. I appreciate the effort!
Girl was always shocked and dumbfounded!
dochito14 September 2019
She was at shock mode all through the movie, hardly spoke, and only with weak and fainted voice.
She missed it all, she didn't get it. She didn't understand the task she had coz wasn't brilliant at all.
Late darling, you reacted too late, shameful, is a pity you been such a zombie instead of running and screaming about what you'd found out!!!
Magic story, solid acting
seandpower25 May 2019
'Waiting for the Miracle to Come' was a breath of fresh air. Theres such cynicism from movie goers and 'reviewers' nowadays. If a film isn't a part of the DC/Marvel world, full of formulaic explosions adolescent story lines it seems to get relegated to the back stacks immediately. This movie had no superheroes, instead just a touching story, a wholesome narrative of believing in something and some great acting. Specifically Willie Nelson and Charlotte Rampling playing off each other but especially Sile Bermingham who really moved me at the end of the film -some fantastic stuff there.
Southern Fairy Tale
guzman-phillip17 May 2019
"Waiting for the Miracle to Come" is a nice fairy tale of a movie. It's slow in pace, but beautiful to look at. The real emotional gravity comes when Sile Bermingham is on screen! Also, Willie Nelson is a stand out in a very nuanced role. Worth a watch.
A Must For Sophie Lowe Fans
cdlistguy11 April 2020
This film, while not perfectly written, is an beautiful, emotionally nuanced study of life and loss, accentuated by the understated acting of the rising star of "Blow The Man Down," Sophie Lowe. Her presence gives a luminescence to the earlier scenes that keeps one's attention as the story slowly unfolds. Add in the fine acting work by Charlotte Rampling and Willie Nelson, and the dreamy lighting and mood achieved by documentary veteran Lian Lunson, and you have all the elements of a impressive feature debut.
Patience
nmeadcci23 June 2019
If you have the patience to get through the first thirty minutes of Lian Lunson's directorial debut then the reward is well worth waiting for. 'Waiting For the Miracle To Come' may feel sludgy and over indulgent at first however, once tuned in to the wavelength of Lunson, the movie slowly unravels to reveal a story that is both powerful and moving.
As expected, intelligent and sensitive performances from Charlotte Rampling and Willie Nelson alongside the exemplary Sile Bermingham.

Dreadful
franzaugustgraf7 May 2019
I daresay my opinion is only one of the nine billion that there are on this Earth, but I found this picture one of the most boring and hard to understand ones I've looked at in a long time. I feel that watching paint dry might have been more interesting.
Compounding my inability to completely understand the story was that some of the lines were mumbled by the leading lass to the point of being incomprehensible.
No doubt it'll most probably be lauded as an art film by the Chardonnay set.
