The legendary Maggie Smith<\/a> passed away just over a year ago, and if the recent Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale has you missing her all over again, you might want to check out her final performance in the film The Miracle Club.<\/p>\n The 2023 movie stars Smith, Laura Linney, Kathy Bates, and Agnes O’Casey as four women who form a musical group and win the prize of a pilgrimage to the sacred town of Lourdes. As they make the journey, they deal with old wounds, grief and other messy emotions.<\/p>\n The film is available to stream now on Netflix for subscribers, but not for long. The streaming site lists the final day to watch the film as Monday, 10 November<\/strong>.<\/p>\n At the time of writing, the film isn’t available as part of any other streaming subscription, but it can be bought or rented digitally, or bought on DVD or Blu-ray.<\/p>\n The Miracle Club has a solid if unspectacular score of 68% positive on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> from 116 reviews.<\/p>\n Lionsgate<\/span><\/p>\n Related: <\/strong>Best streaming services in 2025<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n ScreenRant<\/a> called the film an “endearing, heartwarming dramedy” that “beautifully celebrates the idea that friendship and compassion can be healing”.<\/p>\n The Telegraph<\/a> cited Smith’s signature “withering” yet “wounded” look as “one of two secret weapons in this gentle, lightly comic Irish period piece about the fading of intergenerational bruises: the other is a sincere and deeply felt performance from Laura Linney, whose verbal set-tos with Smith are its unquestionable highlights”.<\/p>\n Lionsgate<\/span><\/p>\n Related: Downton Abbey star Allen Leech lands next movie role in ’60s-set real-life thriller<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The New Statesman<\/a> called Smith’s performance “transfixingly wonderful”, while The Australian<\/a> called the ensemble “flawless”. However, RogerEbert.com<\/a> said that Bates’ accent was “a bit spotty”.<\/p>\n In a negative review, The Independent<\/a> felt like the film “was made to cater to American, rather than Irish tastes” due to its “sentimental and superficial” nature.<\/p>\n The Miracle Club is available to stream on Netflix for a limited time, while Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale can already be bought or rented digitally<\/a>, while still being shown in selected cinemas.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
