Film@BirrTheatre brings you the best of Irish, world and independent cinema on the Theatre’s big screen.
1968. A group of friends in Ballygar, Ireland have one tantalising dream: to win a pilgrimage to the sacred French town of Lourdes. After a riotous church talent competition, it looks like they will get their miracle. But when they are joined by a figure from the past, deep wounds are re-opened and bitter truths exposed.
As they confront one another, these women realise that the healing they have all been looking for is right in front of them: in the strength of their friendships and unshakeable togetherness. Starring an unbelievably impressive cast (Laura Linney, Kathy Bates, Maggie Smith, Stephen Rea) "The Miracle Club" is a joyous, uplifting, inspirational tribute to the reformative power of friendship.
With period clothing, sweeping cinematography and a poignant score, "The Miracle Club" is likely to be just the tonic for anyone looking to escape into an old-fashioned and charming tale.
Join us this Thursday at 8pm for this week's instalment of Film@BirrTheatre.

Progress is sometimes sluggish, and players must learn from mistakes and keep geometry dash progressing despite setbacks. This emphasis on patience offers useful lessons beyond gaming. As players practice and gradually master more challenging stages, many learn more patience, attention and determination.
That sounds like a really heartfelt story—mixing friendship, faith, and unresolved past tensions in such a setting can make for a powerful film. I enjoy discovering films with that kind of emotional depth, and when I take a break, I usually play Slope Rider, a simple game where you guide a rider down slopes and keep your balance.
