The Cokeville Miracle is really....
...two movies in one. There are two separate stories that need to be told, and both are compelling. To the movie's detriment, the second story - about angels and finding your faith - comes up somewhat short compared to the disturbing first story. Overall it's a solid movie, with good acting and cinematography, but I can't help but thinking about how powerful the second story could've been. I have the dvd and the in the extras there's an emotional little vignette from the actual students who were there, and what they saw that day.
