A trailer has been released for The Miracle Club, a new film starring Laura Linney, Maggie Smith, Kathy Bates, and Stephen Rea. Sony Pictures Classics are releasing this one into the world with an unnamed summer date revealed.
As far as I can see there doesn’t seem to be a specific release date for the UK yet. We do have a synopsis, though.
Lourdes, a picturesque French town and a place of miracles, a magnet for 6 million visitors each year from across the globe. Ballygar, Ireland, 1967: a boisterous hard-knocks community in outer Dublin that marches to its own beat — frenzied, fast and loose — and yet also deeply soulful; rooted in traditions of loyalty, faith and togetherness. And the opportunity to rise above one’s daily struggles is frankly a pipe dream, especially for women.
There’s just one dream for the women of Ballygar to taste freedom and escape the gauntlet of domestic life: to win a pilgrimage to the sacred French town of Lourdes. With a little benevolent interference from their local priest, close friends LILY, EILEEN, and DOLLY get their ticket of a lifetime…
Thaddeus O’Sullivan directs from a screenplay by Jimmy Smallhorne, Timothy Prager, and Josh Maurer.
Here’s the teaser trailer.
