Christensen underplays throughout 90 Minutes in Heaven, even in scenes when Piper isn’t operating under the influence of painkillers, and his earnestness often comes off as monotonous. Still, he generates interest and sympathy, almost in spite of himself, and Bosworth lends capable support as a loyal spouse. Read full review

The Christian faith-based film genre takes a dramatic leap forward with 90 Minutes in Heaven, a well-appointed work based on Don Piper’s bestseller, that, for a change, doesn’t look and sound as though it was written, performed, and recorded in some church basement. Read full review

"90 Minutes" is one of the better faith-based films out there. Read full review

While 90 Minutes In Heaven has a professional sheen miles above the clunky products peddled by PureFlix (God’s Not Dead) and their ilk, that just makes it duller. Read full review

It's certainly a moving tale.... Unfortunately, the film tells the story in the most prosaic fashion imaginable, missing nary a single faith-based film cliché with its one-dimensional noble characters, banal dialogue and requisite sermonizing. Read full review

Rendering a miraculous premise dull, the film seems relatively uninterested in doing more than preaching to the choir. Read full review

Enjoyed other religious movies more ..... even though I fall into the category of being a believer I became a little bored with the same continuing scenes throughout this story. Message is clear but getting there is uncomfortably tedious

Religious propaganda.

C'mon Kate Bosworth, you can do better than this!

And Hayden Christensen, now I see why he has been totally forgotten.
