The film’s real power comes from Garner, whose solid, memorable work anchors everything around her. Read full review

Katie Walsh

While the film runs a bit too long, and the heartstring tugging becomes overwrought, overall, this family melodrama about a devastating illness and the freak accident that cured it is surprisingly effective, even for those of little faith. Read full review

Well-intentioned if cloying, Miracles from Heaven has an appealing cast and an accessible take on spirituality. Read full review

There are plenty of fantastic films with Christian messages, but Miracles From Heaven is more interested in simplistic proselytizing to a heavily evangelical market that just wants their own existing beliefs confirmed. This is what makes the film so frustrating to watch; for the vast majority of its runtime, it’s essentially a good (if not great) family drama. Read full review

David Lewis

As one might expect from a Christian film, Miracles From Heaven centers on faith — and a major miracle — but it’s also a decent family drama about a mother’s tribulations in caring for her sick child. Read full review

Geoff Berkshire

Mar 16, 2016

In a welcome gender reversal from the father-son dynamic of “Heaven Is for Real,” Garner and Rogers deliver fully committed performances that credibly convey the physical and mental anguish endured by sick children and their caregivers. Read full review

Joey Nolfi

Mar 17, 2016

Miracles From Heaven stands firm atop a sloppily made case for faith over logic and spirituality over science, and for that, it’s challenging to view as a film instead of judgmental ideology in cinematic drag. Read full review

I have never seen such a touching and powerful true story in almost my entire life. This is one of the best christian movies out there and I definitely recommend it.

It is impossible not to cry but what a beautiful film. The actors are amazing. Jennifer Garner is perfect in this role.

This story is about a family, it's about hope, struggle, faith and commitment. It's about pushing through and overcoming from many angles. Tears will flow during this beautiful yet shocking, tough and growth provoking reality. Yes, this family has a relationship with God ...and it was encouraging to witness. It's a movie that explains the beauty and strength that resides in faith... but this is not a religious movie (it's a very well done depiction of circumstances that actually took place... it's one families real life happenings). The acting was excellent (Jennifer absolutely shined and so did many others) ...the directing and editing was superb (this movie touched the entire audience that I was a part of... hearts were impacted and tears were falling). I highly recommend this movie to all people (more movies should inspire audiences like this). A Great Experience!!!… Expand

Family film, though the length may get to the little ones (149 min). Only the most cynical will find nothing of emotional value. Bring the Kleenex. Other faith based films tend to hit you over the head with the religion. This one does not, and in the end, that is its most redeeming quality.

Pretty cliché movie about a girl who is terminally sick and gets well, except it's true! This movie was done in real life mode; with a sick daughter, the mother loses her faith in God and stops going to church. Not your churchy movie story line.

My one objection to this movie is the parents going into debt, the house, the land, credit cards, everything. If they didn't get a movie/book deal, we'd be reading about them in the newspapers, another homeless family who lost everything. I don't know how many other families that see this movie will do likewise, but I'm sure more than a few will wind up homeless.… Expand

The movie is better than most faith based films. Aside from Jennifer's performance which is great and a interesting plot which never fully goes to where it needs to. The movie ends up becoming another preaching to the quire type film.

If your a religious, you will like this movie. If your not, like me, then you wont enjoy it. Just like that other movie, i was forced to watch this because my family is religion.
