Waiting for the Miracle to Come is a 2018 drama film that follows the journey of a young girl named Adeline (Sophie Lowe) who travels to a remote desert ranch in search of a message from her deceased father. Along the way, she meets the mysterious owner of the ranch, an aging circus performer named Beatrix (Charlotte Rampling), and together, they embark on a journey of self-discovery that will change them forever.
The film is set in the desolate landscape of rural California, where the ranch is situated. The cinematography is breathtaking, capturing both the beauty and the harshness of the desert landscape. The film explores themes of hope, loss, grief and redemption, through the eyes of its two lead characters.
The performances by the film's two stars are exceptional. Charlotte Rampling is mesmerizing as Beatrix, radiating a world-weary grace that suggests a hidden vulnerability underneath her tough exterior. Sophie Lowe is equally impressive as Adeline, capturing the heartbreak and determination of a young woman who is searching for answers amidst a sea of uncertainty.
Willie Nelson also makes an appearance in the film as himself, performing a haunting rendition of the film's title song "Waiting for the Miracle to Come." The serenity of his performance complements the film's meditative pace and its exploration of the hereafter.
The movie's underlying message is about realizing your dreams and embracing the present. In spite of the sadness and despair depicted in the film, there is a constant feeling of hope that permeates through the story. This air of hopefulness is embodied in the character of Beatrix, who acts as a kind of mentor to Adeline.
Overall, Waiting for the Miracle to Come is a beautifully shot, poignant film that tells a story of redemption, hope and self-discovery. It is a film that will stay with you long after the credits have rolled.
