Why we chose it

Agnieszka Holland looks at losing faith and needing it, with Ed Harris as a miracle killer, a priest paid by the Church to debunk supposed apparitions. When a statue of the Virgin Mary weeps blood in a Chicago parish, you’re left wondering whether faith can make miracles happen.

Synopsis

In a poor Chicago parish in 1979, a statue of the Virgin Mary weeps blood every November, and the faithful, who credit the miracle to a woman who has died, want her made a saint. The Church sends a priest, Frank Shore, who no longer believes in miracles himself. He has closed a case like this once before, and the whole parish lost its faith.
