Review of The Cokeville Miracle (2015) by Brian P — 24 Jul 2015
Though you somewhat know what happened because this movie is based on true events, the unraveling of how it happened, or might have happened, makes "The Cokeville Miracle" a very interesting movie worthy of viewing.
Some might want to end the movie with the explosion or soon after and might be bothered by the movie's slower third act where a sheriff investigator tries to unravel how it all happened, how no lives besides the perpetrators were lost.
It was unbelievable to him and he desperately seeks answers.. Of course director T.C. Christensen takes a side and as this investigator struggles to find his faith, you know how it will all end. But this struggle will resonate with people as it did with me.
And sometimes it isn't the tragedy/event itself and its immediate repercussions that are important, but how we wrestle with these events when, forgive the pun, long after the smoke has cleared. The acting performances were solid as was the direction.
