Thaddeus O’Sullivan‘s heartfelt Irish drama stars Laura Linney, Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith. The first time these actors have shared the same screen, now together in this Dublin based film. They play 3 generation of friends who have the dream to win a pilgrimage to Lourdes, . Just before the event, another old friend returns to Dublin after 40 years living in USA, opening some old wounds.

Set in 1967, THE MIRACLE CLUB is a heartwarming film that follows the story of three generations of close friends, Lily (Maggie Smith), Eileen (Kathy Bates), and Dolly (Agnes O’Casey) of Ballygar, a hard-knocks community in Dublin, who have one tantalizing dream: to win a pilgrimage to the sacred French town of Lourdes, that place of miracles that draws millions of visitors each year. When the chance to win presents itself, the women seize it. However, just before their trip, their old friend Chrissie (Laura Linney) arrives in Ballygar for her Mother’s funeral, dampening their good mood and well-laid plans. The women secure tickets and set out on the journey that they hope will change their lives, with Chrissie ing in place of her mother. The glamor and sophistication of Chrissie, who has just returned from a nearly 40-year exile in the United States, are not her only difficult traits. Old wounds are reopened along the way, forcing the women to confront their pasts even as they travel in search of a miracle. Deep wounds from the past can only be healed by the curative power of love and friendship.

The film also stars Stephen Rea, Agnes O’Casey, Mark O’Halloran, Mark McKenna, Niall Buggy, and Hazel Doupe. The Miracle Club will be released in UK and Irish cinemas from 29th September.
