Conversations With God

What to Know

Critics Consensus

At some point in the conversation, God must have asked for a subtler, deeper film.

1.5/5
A coda after the closing credits, encouraging divine dialogues in general, does little to dispel the hagiographic aftertaste. Go to Full Review
Geoff Pevere Toronto Star 11/10/2006
1.5/4
A terminally muddled movie, uncertain as to whether it's promoting Neale, God, Mammon, Putnam Books or the capitalist exploitation of spiritual need. Go to Full Review
Jason Anderson Globe and Mail 11/10/2006
1/4
Although Stephen Simon's film has the mawkish trappings of an inspirational tale, its unseemly emphasis on monetary matters makes Walsch seem less interested in the spiritual possibilities of his celestial networking skills than their financial benefits. Go to Full Review
Lindy West The Stranger (Seattle, WA) 03/01/2018
God speaks with Walsch's own voice, the point being, of course, that God is you. God is me. God is a hobo and a douchebag and a blowhard named Neale Donald Walsch. Go to Full Review
Jim Lane Sacramento News & Review 08/07/2008
3/5
The film is professionally mounted, smoothly constructed and carried with ease by Czerny's assured performance. Go to Full Review

C
Resembles a vanity project that looks as though every frame was submitted by producer-director Simon to Mr. Walsch for his approval. Go to Full Review

Valentina R 01/15/2024 I was expecting more about the book and the conversations that were happening with God. But it's more about the author. See more 06/01/2020 I am frankly shocked at the many poor reviews of this movie.   CWG is an extremely deep and well done examination of the zeitgeist of the mid 2000's in the PNW of the USA, the vagaries and the role of luck in a person's outcomes and experiences in life, the desperation felt by so many who are unheard in our society, and the various inequalities and injustices that even now in May of 2020 - 14 years later - are tearing our country apart.    Anyone with half a heart for the pain and suffering of other human beings can't watch this movie without shedding a tear or at the very least reflect deeply on a personal level the quality of the arc of humanity - who are we really?  This movie sheds a painful but true light on that question. See more 04/29/2018 A true Hearted movie about one man struggle for lifes purpose or message. The message being God lives within all of us, and no matter what is going on in your life you can always call on him for the answers. God talks to us all the time, some of us choose not to listen. when you listen and love God opens up the doors for us. See more 01/12/2017 I believe you guys did great job and worked so well everyone. See more 09/20/2014 The negative reviews are not an accurate reflection of the movie. I think they reflect reluctance to seem sappy by approving of the subject matter. The movie is not corny or self-promotional, as I expected, and Henry Czerny is really very good as Neale Donald Walsch. See more 02/23/2013 Well intentioned but a ham-fisted, overlong, cheesy and dull screenplay weighs down the movie. See more Read all reviews
