Aun M A Visually Stunning and Heartwarming Glimpse Into Faith "Heaven Is For Real" isn't just a movie; it's an experience that lingers long after the credits roll. Based on the astonishing true story that captivated millions, this 2014 film directed by Randall Wallace tells the journey of the Burpo family from a small Nebraska town. Their ordinary lives are forever changed when their four-year-old son, Colton undergoes emergency surgery. What happens next is the core of the film: Colton claims to have left his body, visited heaven, and met Jesus face-to-face. This film succeeds because it doesn't try to force belief onto the viewer. Instead, it wisely focuses on the emotional impact of Colton's story on his family, especially his father, Todd. Todd's struggle is the heart of the movie—a battle between his own faith and the incredible, almost unbelievable, claims of his young son. Whether you approach it from a place of deep faith, spiritual curiosity, or simply a love for heartfelt family dramas, "Heaven Is For Real" is a profoundly moving film. It’s a beautiful, thought-provoking, and ultimately uplifting story that challenges its characters—and its audience—to consider the possibilities of the divine. It’s a film that will open your heart and stay with you, prompting conversations about faith, family, and the incredible power of a child's vision. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a movie that is both emotionally powerful and spiritually uplifting.

While it may resonate deeply with religious viewers, it might not be as captivating for those who are not religious. The film’s straightforward storytelling may not leave a lasting impression, but it serves as a safe and comforting religious film for those who seek such content.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Luca H If you don't believe this kid, you're cruel. How can a literal 4-year-old explain Heaven and Jesus in a "Harvard-like" way? He knew things that were quoted from The Bible itself. Despite his father being a pastor, he did not teach his kid about everything just yet, due to his age. And how did Colton know that his dad and mom were in separate rooms and he knew what each of them were doing when he was "dead"? And that he knew his dead sister that the parents told no one about. You can't make that stuff up. Even though you should have faith, this proves that HEAVEN IS FOR REAL and Jesus Christ is the ONLY TRUE KING! John 14:1 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Michael L Before coming to Rotten Tomatoes to leave my rating for this film, I told myself the critical consensus would be low, and low and behold I was right. Sure, there is some measure of heavy handed religious undertones, but the story, the family and the thought of a better existence beyond this one should captivate anyone with an open mind. Films like this are in short supply these days. I loved it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
