The film begins with the young, beautiful Cristina Tofan sneaking away from an isolated convent. Then the film follows Marius Preda, a determined inspector retracing Cristina's steps days after her departure. Here, the narrative opens into a police thriller and devastating social commentary as Marius gradually uncovers clues leading to the truth of Cristina's actions.

What are critics saying?
The New Yorker by Anthony Lane
Miracle is busy on the eye. As in a documentary, we follow the characters around from one task, whether grim or menial, to the next. Stand back, however, and Apetri’s careful patterning can be discerned.
The New York Times by Ben Kenigsberg
Framed by scenes of weeping, the narrative does not entirely pull itself into a satisfying arc, but the film nevertheless unfolds with dexterity and suspense.
From its opening, there’s a distinct sense of unease shrouded over Miracle, the third feature written and directed by Romanian filmmaker Bogdan George Apetri.
Miracle is a thriller of deceptive simplicity and paralyzing jolts.
