Reviews for this film from our members:
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
- Excerpt: An affecting, gentle, and illuminating portrait of childhood spirituality.
- Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
- Excerpt: it’s less about proving a point and more about finding ways to cope with ourselves when our faith is challenged
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Wallace uses the color blue, low angle shots and a syrupy score to invoke all things heavenly but his visualizations of Colton’s ‘trip’ are downright cheesy, especially the blue-green eyed Jesus who looks like an 80’s pop star wearing purple lace up Jellies.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: Here is a strange movie about people of faith who seem to have a difficult time grasping one of the key tenets of their faith.

- Excerpt: Sensitive, spiritual adaptation of Todd Burpo’s best-selling non-fiction book…
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Why aren’t people in this Church more exited? Regardless of your personal beliefs in the afterlife, it seems like this bestseller should have inspired a more uplifting tale.

- Excerpt: You’d think any movie that an all-powerful deity had a hand in would be awesome, right? Turns out, not so much. There’s barely even a story here.

- Jerry Roberts @ Armchair Cinema
- Excerpt: The movie tells a story with a Christian message without embarrassing God. Unlike the awful God’s Not Dead, which pasted its message to your forehead with thumbtacks, here is a film with good acting, and a true mystery about the existence of the all-mighty. In that way, it plays less like a religious postcard and more like the kind of genial message movie the Jimmy Stewart use to make with Frank Capra.
