Staying in something, staying as something, are important to him. Part of the expectation of events like the Quecreek rescue is that they will be transformative. If there's a miracle, there must be a corresponding conversion; people must come away changed. A regular at the Summit Mills Grace Brethren Church, Fogle goes along up to a point.

Still, some close to Guerin forgive the revisions. "It is a wonderful tribute to her," says her mother Bernie (played with tremendous grace and dignity by Academy Award winner Brenda Fricker). For her, the film's accuracy isn't as important as its positive message, even if that message begins with a fable. Veronica Guerin opens with the day Guerin appeared in court for speeding. Her mother asks a priest to pray...
