Reaction: The box office numbers aren't necessarily bad for a Drama film, but the ensemble cast was fairly expensive for this one, meaning the film would have had to come around to $100 million worldwide to make a profit.

“Sean Baker incorporates his unique style with an interesting premise here in Miracles. While not a total knock out of the park, Miracles offers a fun time with the ever charismatic Jack Black, playing, slightly against type. The ensemble cast is stacked and the film leads to an intense ending. However, I wanted a little more with the ending, especially with it being promoted as a Crime film.” Jonah Wells, IndieWire

"While Miracles is quite tonally disjointed, it is always entertaining and engrossing. It did take a while to enjoy Jack Black's performance, but by the end I was along for the ride." - Henry Stewart, Chicago Sun-Times

"MIRACLES, Baker's most daring work yet, is set to be one of the leading contenders at the GRA awards, with Jack Black's Best Actor-worthy performance at its helm. Plemons, Collette, and Qualley all give remarkable performances, with Plemons and Black's scenes together being particularly noteworthy. Although the movie doesn't necessarily have a tidy conclusion, it will undoubtedly make its mark on the film industry. P.S. great soundtrack." - Maud Askes, Uproxx
