A Miracle

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 1999)

This movie is nothing short of a miracle. What a simple and old story we´ve seen so many times on the screen and on stage throughout the world! But this time, it really takes you away beyond ordinary cinema story-telling. The movie works perfectly because of an excellent director who creates the exactly right atmosphere full of romance and humor, and who never crosses the fine line between cheap entertainment and art; because of outstanding actors (Brad Pitt has never been as good as in this movie, Hopkins outdoes himself, and Claire Forlani is just breathtaking - in every sense of the word) and because of a very sensitive and beautiful music. And whatever bored and cynical critics tell you - this movie is not a single minute too long! Can´t wait until it will be released on DVD!
