Critic Reviews

Luke Y. Thompson

It's an agreeable enough tale right up until God butts in and starts talking; even if you can swallow the premise, it isn't particularly cinematic to watch a guy endlessly scribbling on legal pads. Read full review

Ann Hornaday

If Simon's desire to feed the better angels of our nature is admirable, it would be nice if he could do it with better movies. Read full review

Tim Grierson

Beyond a lack of enthralling characters or convincing plotting, though, what's most glaringly missing in this self-promotional marketing tool is, of all things, God, who gets only a bit role as Walsch's muse in a few scenes. Read full review

Josh Rosenblatt

Corny and harmless, Conversations With God is a humanistic little movie with a real belief in the power of redemption and a positive enough message: “Love is the answer.” Or: “Go to your Godspace.” Whichever speaks more clearly to you. Read full review

William Lobdell

Conversations has all the telltale signs of a religious film that keep your basic moviegoer away: stilted dialogue, overwrought music, the subtlety of a daytime soap. Read full review

Michael Phillips

Despite valiant efforts from Czerny and from the fine stage actress Vilma Silva, who plays one of Walsch's many saviors, the result would qualify as a blandly inspirational amateur hour if the running time weren't closer to two. Read full review

Kyle Smith

God, if you exist, why do you keep letting morons like Walsch get rich? Read full review

I saw the sneak preview and was so happy to see a film that depicts God the way I know her. Very inspiring and fascinating story. Don't miss it.

I feel sorry for people who are genuinely bothered by this film or the premiss. I was expecting it to be much worse than it was given the lackluster to quite negative reviews the normal critics were giving it. No, it doesn't have the glitz or the all-star line up of a big money film. I feel sorry for people who are genuinely bothered by this film or the premiss.

No, it doesn't have the glitz or the all-star line up of a big money film. But, for what it is and what I heard before seeing the film, I was pleasantly surprised and delighted in general. I would recommend it to anyone familiar with Walsh's story or anyone who has an open mind when it comes to life's meaning and the possibilities of what lies beyond what we cannot perceive with our 5 physical senses.… Expand

Neal Donald Walsch truly is the Mary Baker Eddy of his day! You can't blame the guy for trying (and succeeding) at creating his own religion. After all, "Mother Mary" (Baker Eddy), and Joseph Smith with his lieutenant, Brigham Young created the mold from which Neal Donald has extracted Neal Donald Walsch truly is the Mary Baker Eddy of his day! You can't blame the guy for trying (and succeeding) at creating his own religion. After all, "Mother Mary" (Baker Eddy), and Joseph Smith with his lieutenant, Brigham Young created the mold from which Neal Donald has extracted his own image---that of simple Savior to the masses! In this age of aggrevated annoyances in daily life and spiritual platitudes from the pulpit, a nice quiet conversation with God seems innocent enough, though I believe it is sometimes called a "mental illness" when the preoccupation gets to the level perpetrated by Mr. Walsch. As Walsch scribbles away with religious fervor, one certainly does not hear the truth with the same impact as if God were speaking from a burning bush. Re-acquainting oneself with the power contained within Old Testament might be more edifying than this movie.… Expand

This is a bad film with a total lack of inspiration. I feel sorry for the people who are actually impressed by this film. I would only recommend it to the narrow-minded viewers who are looking to validate their conventional views.
