Daniel G A Christian movie about a miracle recovery of a young man - it was very "correct" and I felt emotional at the teen's recovery, plus we watched it late and we didn't fall asleep, So that's saying something. That said, I continue agnostic and if anything it is people's faith and not a god that can cure. Afterwards I noticed it was directed by the actress who played B'Elanna on Star Trek: Voyage, Roxann Dawson, in her directorial debut - kudos to her for a technically very well-made movie. Also, I didn't recall that the pretty and inspirational song performed by one of the young actresses in a scene outside the hospital, "I'm Standing With You", was nominated for an Academy Award. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Christine K If you are a holy roller it's great, otherwise too good to be true. All that time without having a pulse and he has no brain damage well only in the movies as they say.. It was good it was on TV because it wouldn't have been worth a trip to the movies.. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Audience Member based on the incredible true story from 2015 about the Smith family Joyce and John Smith are mother and son and it was documented as the most incredible miracle in recent history John was 14, Guatemalan, and was adopted by Joyce Smith and her husband, he was an aspiring athlete but he had no interest in doing homework or working with others considering he was abandoned at a young age then one winter in January he and his friends fell into the frozen lake of Missouri suffering hypothermia the two other boys managed to make it out but John himself was in an induced coma in order to prevent oxygen from leaving his brain and his internal organs but his mother played by the talented Chrissy Metz refuses to leave his side, with a simple touch and an amazing amount of faith he was brought back to life it's a miracle in itself since he was dead for 45 min then made a startling recovery it's not another run-of-the-mill faith-based film and you don't have to be religious to appreciate the strong bond between a mother and her child the film is a bit long and I can understand a lot of skeptics having a problem with this one person making it and not everyone else still, the story is emotionally affective hitting all the right notes with an incredible performance by Chrissy Metz nothing is forced or shoved down your throat so who knows for sure if a divine power exists out there we don't have all the answers but it's great for all of us to see that miracles happen when we least expect them Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Tammy T Such a heart-wrenching amazing story.
