Miracles From Heaven

Miracles from Heaven is manipulative, blunt, super-Christian propaganda that's dignified and deeply moving in its own way.

To have it suddenly blatantly preach to the converted and to the converted alone is a missed opportunity of massive proportions, making watching Miracles from Heaven at all a serious waste of time.

Miracles From Heaven aims for faith-based audiences, and its narrow focus keeps the film's message of possibility and positivity from wider viewers.

What a strange film.

No heathen is going to be persuaded by a film that holds back its revelations until all but the already-convinced have left.

By and large, the film is drippy kitsch, alternating between sub-Terrence Malick​ images of everyday "miracles" and forced, feeble attempts at comic relief.

The kind of film that will affirm the faith of believers yet even non-churchgoers will find much to love here.

Powerful, emotionally satisfying and uplifting, you'll leave the theatre with a smile on your heart and a belief in Miracles From Heaven.

The thing that impressed me about this film was how subtle it was compared to other faith-based films.

We care for the girl's suffering, the mother's struggle, and hope all the medical science available to the doctor is enough, even though we know a miracle from heaven is directly around the corner
