Show more >> The Gullspång Miracle tries to tackle some heavy themes, but it sometimes feels like it’s wading through molasses. The premise is intriguing—a pair of sisters chasing a divine vision to a tiny Swedish town—but the execution can be a bit uneven. Sure, the emotional moments hit hard, especially when they meet a woman who looks just like their late sister, but the film’s pacing drags at points, making it a bit of a slog. The performances are solid, and there are a couple of genuinely touching scenes, but overall, it doesn’t quite land the emotional punch it aims for. If you’re in the mood for something introspective, give it a go, but don’t expect fireworks. Show less
