What a heart wrenching journey

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

This movie needs a case of kleenex in the best way possible.

I sat down to watch this by myself because my husband doesn't do "chick flicks". My husband wandered in about 15 or 20 minutes in. Somewhere around the 1/2 way mark, he was wondering why we were watching this, irritating me greatly. I was full on bawling and loving the movie, knowing how it ended but trying to wait for it. I sat and cried, and my husband continued to make comments, I finally turned on him to tell him to go in the other room and hush and he was sitting there with tears streaming down his face. In 22 years of marriage I have seen him get teary (not cry) only once. This tells you how emotional it was.

That said, I loved it, anything that can pull your heart strings that hard is a 5 star movie. I think the only other movie that made me cry like that was Steel Magnolias. So excellent film. I fell in love with the family.

The family is a christian family, so God is mentioned both good and bad, and by that I mean sometimes he gets credit and sometimes he gets blamed, and sometimes well meaning followers are less than christian, but this movie addresses all of that and does it well.

Excellent. Wonderfully portrayed. My heart was breaking along with the characters as the story moved along. Kylie Rogers was soooo believable, she should get an Oscar for her performance, and you don't see that in young actors very often. She was wonderful, but the entire cast was also amazing. A great family film about life, love, and God's everyday and not so everyday miracles.

A wonderful movie that is true to the book from which it was made.

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2016

This movie is of course based on a true story taken from the book by the same title. The movie is the story of the Beam family. Their 10 year old daughter Anna comes down with a rare incurable disease. The family becomes ferocious advocates for Anna's healing. It becomes a long hard fight with a great deal of difficulties along the way. Their search for a solution is a dead end. Anna has a freak accident and what follows is an extraordinary miracle, Anna's healing. There is an amazing and dramatic rescue regarding the accident which leaves the medical specialists mystified. The end of the movie not only restores the Beam family it brings renewed faith to the community leaving everyone from doctors, church members as well as everyone involved along the way inspired. If you read the book you will be happy to know this is one movie that follows the book almost word for word. It is truly a great movie that leaves your spirit lifted to the heavens. It is what I call a happy up lifting movie and in these days we can use this type of lifting up. By the way the actors who play the Beam family do a great job. They truly got this movie right.

"Another predictable, feel—good Christian 'miracle' movie...boy was I surprised!"

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2016

If my plans for the day hadn’t suddenly been cancelled, I would never have gone to see this movie. After all, I, and everybody in America, knew the plot. A feel-good miracle movie, a predictable (for movie plots, that is) ending, above average acting (since Jennifer was in it), a little Jesus thrown in for good measure, and we all get inspired. But it was a matinee price, and something to do.

Well, the plot was predictable. I knew the story. But to my surprise, this movie was not about the miracle of the little girl’s healing. While for sure that is the fulcrum around which everything else in the film pivots, her miracle is merely the driving factor for the little ‘coincidences’—the true, everyday miracles in life—whose explanations are skillfully restrained until the end of the film.

You don’t just watch Miracles from Heaven. You feel it. Because of the excellent script and casting, you cringe and feel the pain this child endures in sometimes graphic scenes. You feel the agony of hopelessness which a helpless mother endures when God is silent, and her critics and skeptics--aren’t. You feel the forgiveness from a heart shattered by insult--and the empathy--of what must be the world’s most compassionate physician. But most of all, you feel the subtle power of miracles in the odd, and often inexplicable, ‘little things’ which happen ‘along the way’ in the greatest of crises, and lead to you know not where.

It’s those little miracles which lift this film—from mere inspiration—to reminding us that every thread of life is woven into a much bigger whole which we seldom ever see, and even more seldom—appreciate. The film teaches us through heartache and excruciating pain that the small things, even the smallest of things—an unmade appointment, a computer ‘glitch’, a chance encounter, a fortuitous roommate, a child's necklace--are woven together for good in the plan of a sovereign God (Romans 8:28).

Miracles from Heaven is no ‘preachy’ film, as I had feared. It is not a Catholic diatribe on supernaturalism. It is not a Pentecostal sermon on ‘just have enough faith’. In fact, it’s just the opposite. It is the you and me in the 'raw' of doubt, frustration, and utter hopelessness. Christians are as much the villains in this film (“there must be sin in the child’s life”) as persistence, fortitude, and faith, are the heroes, and this movie will pick you up and slam you down emotionally, often when you least expect it. Like all wonderful stories, it gets better as it progresses, and near the end--just when you are sure the last emtional reaction has been wrenched from you--it blindsides you one last time. Though this movie's message of faith may not be everyone's cup of tea ('...we just get there when we get there'), inspirational--it certainly is.

There was neither a weak performance in the film, nor a dry eye in the theater as I left. Both Jennifer and the little girl give sterling performances, as does Queen Latifah. Four things I took from Miracles from Heaven were, first, that we need to search less for the ‘miracles’, and concentrate more on doing what we can--when and where we are able--everyday of our lives. In this, we become miracles, instead of mere chasers of them. Secondly, when life seems to give you no direction—use your instincts and go somewhere; do something. Most often God works better in turning us, as opposed to pushing us to get up off the floor. Thirdly, remember--to someone hurting--what is the mundane to us can be a true miracle. What may seem trivial can be a life-changer. Finally, having done these things, we are left to trust an all-wise God who does not explain to us--any more than he explained to Job--why bad things happen to good people. Highly recommended; adults and kids.

Tears and sorrow can lead to joy

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2016

This is an experience for anyone who loves tearjerkers and faith movies. Jennifer Garner is stellar as Kristie Beam, a mother dealing with her daughter's, (Anna played by Kylie Rogers) fatal illness. her struggle with her faith, hope and getting answers will move you to tears. Rogers is very good as the suffering daughter. Other memorable and touching performances com from Martin Henderson (Kevin Beam), Queen Latifah (Angela) , Eugenio Derbez (Dr. Nurko), and John Carroll Lynch (Pastor Scott). This is a solid drama that will touch your heart. Watch it!

A true representation of a True Story

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

Jennifer Garner was wonderful in this movie. This true story was heart-wrenching and heartwarming at the same time. What a struggle it is for a sick child and all those who love her! I was in and out of hospitals from ages 5-8 with a birth defect and can honestly say that the interaction between the children was spot on. Also the story of the obscene 'church ladies' is very true to life - and is as old as the Bible - see "Job" - his friends said the same things. But those other friends from church including the wonderful pastor are also just as real. It's rare to see a true story not 'Hollywooded' into cliche, but this one is outstanding.

I highly recommend it.

I knew I was going to ike this movie even before I saw it. It was absolutely beautiful, I cried my eyes out.
All I can say is that it's a great shame that more doctors are not like the one in this movie, he was an angel. Certainly a movie to treasure.

Reaffirming the belief in miracles

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

Well made true life films tend to provide an additional dimension to fictional ones not because of their basis in reality (for many fictional stories share that basis) but because of the claim that the remarkable outcome contained in the film actually occurred. This film will not necessarily change ones stance on so called miracles; but it will reaffirm the belief that God at His choosing can intervene to evidence His power and His love.

Miracles do happen

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 24, 2017

A very moving and uplifting film. I especially liked seeing the actual family at the end of the show. The specialist doctor portrayed, also has a cameo role for eagle eyed viewers. Its a pity Jesus was not mentioned by name as I understand the little girl said it was him she saw, nevertheless still enjoyable and encouraging to watch

Great true story about a girl who had a serious medical condition. With this her mother's faith struggled. When she managed to go home when her symptoms were more manageable she went to play outside with her sister. They climbed a tree and she fell down the centre of this old tree unconscious (or dead). You'll have to watch it to find out what happened afterwards.
