llewdebkram I acidentally watched his movie and its quite enjoyable but I cannot not comment on how a movie like this will further convince the gullable of gods existence and how he looks after people (despite him seemingly being rather selective). Therefore I have to consider a movie like this appalling and poison, because of how it will reinforce some people's ridiculous beliefs.
tablet-41163 Possible spoiler...My daughter and I just watched this movie. It was at times hard to watch because you feel like you are there going through the whole ordeal with the family. JenniferGarner was really good in this movie. The whole cast was really great - - especially little Anna.This movie teaches all about how important it is never to give up hope at anytime - no matter how bad or unlikely things seem. We will never forget this movie and will watch it periodically to remind ourselves of all the important things in life. We have seen many miracles too, so we know they can and do happen. Prayer definitely works and can move mountains. It has for us too. Although you go into this movie knowing that some kind of miracles happens, you really don't know what happens until the very end.
jacobs-greenwood As a Christ follower, and one who enjoys uplifting and encouraging films, I'm always looking for faith-based movies to see. I've seen some good ones, but also (unfortunately) too many - though sincerely made - not so good ones. This one was not only highly rated on Netflix, but it features two well-known actresses (Jennifer Garner and Queen Latifah) and a couple of recognizable character actors (Martin Lawrence and John Carroll Lynch) as well. So I thought I'd check it out.Firstly, I didn't know the story of the Beam family as told in the book which shares the film's title; it was a New York Times Bestseller written by a Texas mother named Christy Beam (Garner's character) a couple of years ago. I also didn't know it was about a young girl's claim that she went to Heaven and returned. This non- Biblical concept was exploited a few years earlier in a film I definitely avoided. So, I wouldn't have 'rented' this one if I'd have known in advance that it was going to promote the same heretical concept.However, since this part of the plot isn't revealed until late in the drama, I watched it unaware of what was going to happen, like anyone else unfamiliar with this purported true story.It's actually pretty good, for the most part. It realistically portrays the family's struggles through the hardships and inherent suffering when dealing with the torturous medical condition of one of their three daughters. Anna, played by Kylie Rogers, who is essentially terminal, though - unless I missed it - no doctor says anything like "she has 14 months to live".I certainly hope that there really are doctors like Dr. Nurko (Eugenio Derbez), the busy specialist in Boston that treats Anna's condition(s). What a bright light of joy amidst such difficult circumstances. He's one of two characters - the other is played by Queen Latifah - that exhibit Christ-like behavior without explicitly being identified as having faith in Jesus.In fact, there are several other characters who profess to be Christians that espouse misguided Pharisaical beliefs: that Anna's condition is due to sin or a lack of faith in the Beam family. Fortunately, Christy's Pastor Scott (Lynch) later says to Christy: "Kevin (her husband, played by Henderson) told me what those ladies said to you, and ... I sure wish that I could give everybody a spiritual IQ test before they walk in the door."I'm really not sure if the mixed messages of these characterizations - in addition to Christy's inconsistent faith throughout - were intentional or just symptomatic of the flawed Prosperity Gospel to which producer TD Jakes subscribes.Finally, actress Garner didn't deliver the emotional depth that was required to carry the picture. This was surprising given that she also has three daughters and her director, Patricia Riggen (who ably conveyed the drama of The 33 (2015)), is the mother of a daughter herself.
Chie As a Christian, I can tell you this movie is very uplifting to anyone who follows the religion. This movie was very well written and filmed, also, with no plot holes I was able to notice. My one issue with this movie (and the reason I did not give it a full 10/10) is how utterly depressing it is. I could generally be considered a tough person, but it was hard for even me to hold back all my tears. Yes, of course there's much resolution, but let's just say that in certain cases there isn't. I definitely wouldn't recommend watching it alone, but make sure you're comfortable with the person you watch it with. If you're not comfortable crying in front of people... yeah.MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN~Chie~
