Reception
Joe Leydon of Variety praised Rampling and Nelson's chemistry together and acting, and said, "... it’s entirely possible that many impatient viewers will give up on “Waiting for the Miracle to Come” after the first 20 minutes or so. It is equally possible, however, that Lunson will get you on her wavelength, and you’ll be sufficiently enthralled to complete the journey with her."{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2019/film/reviews/waiting-for-the-miracle-to-come-review-1203199877/|title=Film Review: 'Waiting for the Miracle to Come'|author=Leydon, Joe|date=April 29, 2019|work=Variety|access-date=June 17, 2019}} Barbara Shulgasser of Common Sense Media gave the film 2/5 stars, and called it an, "Offbeat, but mundane drama...," criticizing the plot structure and character development, but praised Rampling's performance.{{cite web|url=https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/waiting-for-the-miracle-to-come|title=Waiting for the Miracle to Come|last=Shulgasser|first=Barbara|date=April 30, 2019|work=Common Sense Media}}
