The Film Stage Jared Mobarak

Sep 29, 2016

The cinematic version of this children’s book retains an air of wonder steeped in simple resonate clichés for younger viewers enduring the same hardships as Milton Adams. Read full review

John DeFore

Sutherland brings some believable warmth to a film whose spiritual "aha" moments are generally packaged too tidily to hit home. Read full review

Marsha Lederman

Sep 29, 2016

Based on the picture book co-authored by Power of Now superstar Eckhart Tolle, Milton’s Secret carries a powerful and important message, but the film feels ham-fisted, clichéd and overearnest at times, especially for adult viewers. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Even a prickly pro like Sutherland can’t do anything to elevate a hokey self-help lecture disguised as family entertainment. Read full review
