The Miracle Club
Movie • 2023
ReportSynopsis
Ballyfermot, Ireland, 1960. A hard-knocks community in outer Dublin marches to its own beat, rooted in traditions of loyalty, faith and togetherness. There’s just one tantalising dream for the women of Ballyfermot to taste freedom and escape the gauntlet of domestic life: to win a pilgrimage to the sacred French town of Lourdes. And with a little benevolent interference from their cheeky and rebellious priest, close friends Lily, Eileen, Dolly and Sheila are the ‘lucky’ few to win this ticket of a lifetime at their riotous local raffle night.

Not on screen but it’s made clear later on in the movie that in the past a man had died by suicide at sea.

It’s discussed throughout the film that one of the women went to America and didn’t return for 40 years. It’s revealed that she was banished from the island in her teens for pregnancy.

About as much as the Irish typically do in movies. There is one scene where one person overdoes it on wine and says some nasty things to the room and embarrasses herself.

Abortion discussions though, before the events of the film. An accusation that a character who had an abortion “killed a child”

Prior to the film’s start, one of the main character’s sons had drowned. As the film goes on it is revealed that everyone suspects it was suicide. Never shown on screen, mentioned consistently throughout the film.

Not on screen. Later in the movie, there is a long discussion about two at-home abortion attempts. Nothing particularly gruesome. I don’t have time stamps but the scene starts as Dolly is crying “I ruined him” and lasts for a while. I think it cuts to a shot of Maggie Smith’s face in bed directly after but I may be remembering wrong.
