Maggie Smith’s “heartwarming” final movie The Miracle Club is leaving Netflix next month

It’s been just over a year since the wonderful Maggie Smith passed away. If you recently watched the *Downton Abbey* movie and are feeling nostalgic, you might enjoy seeing her last role in *The Miracle Club*.

The 2023 film features Smith, Laura Linney, Kathy Bates, and Agnes O’Casey as four women who come together to form a band and earn a trip to Lourdes, a holy city. During their journey, they confront past hurts, sadness, and complicated feelings.

You can currently watch the film on Netflix if you have a subscription, but it won’t be available for much longer. Netflix says the last day to stream it is Monday, November 10th.

Currently, the movie isn’t included with any streaming services, but you can purchase or rent a digital copy, or buy it on DVD or Blu-ray.

The movie *The Miracle Club* has received generally positive reviews, earning a 68% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 116 reviews.

ScreenRant described the movie as a sweet and touching comedy-drama, praising its beautiful portrayal of how friendship and kindness can help people heal.

According to *The Telegraph*, Brian d’Arcy James’s expressive, subtly vulnerable performance is a key strength of this charming Irish film about family history and healing. The paper also praised Laura Linney, highlighting the powerful and moving scenes between the two actors as a standout feature of the movie.

Critics praised Smith’s performance, with *The New Statesman* calling it ‘transfixingly wonderful’ and *The Australian* describing the entire cast as ‘flawless’. However, *RogerEbert.com* noted that Bates’ accent was occasionally inconsistent.

According to a review in *The Independent*, the film seemed designed for an American audience, coming across as overly sentimental and lacking depth for Irish viewers.

You can currently watch The Miracle Club on Netflix, but it won’t be available forever. Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is available to buy or rent online, and is still playing in some movie theaters.

The latest issue of Living Legends is now available! You can purchase Ariana & Witches at newsstands or online for only £8.99.
