The film’s real power comes from Garner, whose solid, memorable work anchors everything around her.
Any Christian movie dealing in miracles is likely to be too sweet for some but this one is gently moving rather than pushy about its religious elements.

A true story
Miracle ... or how to remain optimistic. I won't say that you have to believe in God because faith is omnipresent in this film. But, whatever you are going through, because of this film, you will know that you will never be alone anymore. It is a wonderful film which shows you that you should never give up. It is impossible not to cry but what a beautiful film. The actors are amazing. Jennifer Garner is perfect in this role.
What else can I say ? It is a incredible story and I just can tell you that you should see this film.

The movie flirts with supernaturalism. But the Beams’ story is anchored in smaller miracles — the reliability of friends, the kindness of strangers.
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.
As Christy, Garner gives an earnest performance, her perpetually worried expression put to good use here as the Beams grapple with the unimaginable possibility of losing Anna.
Stretched across nearly two hours, it tells a story that would have been adequately laid out in a 30-second television spot.
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.
Miracles From Heaven (a story based on true happenings) is an excellent movie from every perspective. 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!!!

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.

I liked the movie ,but was disappointed that they used a black woman for the role of Angela the waitress who befriended them. Angela was in fact white. Is this not PC over kill.

...The movie itself, is bad. It isn't overly preachy, and has a great performance from Jennifer Garner. But it's really dumb. There are useless characters that are introduced then ignored until the end, and then we're supposed to suddenly care about them. The whole film to me was just extremely flat and one-dimensional. And I know my experience is what made me hate this film so much, but I can't separate the two. The experience and the film go hand-in-hand and I had a terrible experience thus making me hate the film as well. I can't say this is the worst film of the year, but I can say it's the worst theater experience I will probably ever endure...

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.
