Heaven Is for Real Ratings & Reviews
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
The faithful should welcome it warmly. Others may come away unconvinced while appreciating the film's sincerity and lack of anti-secular axes being ground.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Zwecker
Kinnear does an excellent job of capturing Burpo's obvious dilemma and the turmoil he and his wife endure as they work through this critical time in the life of their family.
Entertainment Weekly
Adam Markovitz
There's no antagonist, no resolution, and no real climax - just a series of mildly charming scenes in which Colton shares heavenly knowledge while his family reacts with awestruck tears.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
A well-acted, family-friendly and timely movie for Easter audiences that is just as much about appreciating life on Earth as it is about what comes after.
RogerEbert.com
Odie Henderson
Without fail, every time I found myself liking this movie, it would break the spell with its ulterior motives.
Associated Press
Jessica Herndon
We might have expected more from writer-director Randall Wallace, who brought us the Oscar-nominated "Braveheart." But the material is pretty cookie-cutter and more typical of an afterschool special.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
The images of heaven somehow diminish the impact of the boy's experience, perhaps because heaven is just too profound for anyone to film.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
What could have been merely a feel-good exercise in Eschatology Lite instead becomes a wholesome but also surprisingly tough-minded portrait of a man wrestling with his faith.
The Dissolve
Keith Phipps
It seems unlikely that anyone but a father with a few loose screws could see Colton's story as proof of anything but an active imagination. That he could become a beacon of hope to those who want to believe in God seems downright impossible.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Believers in this particular idea of heaven will find what they are looking for. Everyone else is unlikely to be enlightened or inspired.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
It's not great filmmaking, or even good filmmaking for that matter, but you may find yourself saying "Amen" nevertheless.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Farber
Unlikely to convert any skeptics, but if they wander into the multiplex, they'll find that that the prettily photographed sermon goes down easily.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
This is a big-tent Christian film that wriggles around a lot seeking to accommodate multiple varieties of religious experience, and ends up terminally infected with the virus of postmodern relativism.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Whatever works.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
One of the finest achievements of director Randall Wallace's smartly crafted family film is the way Todd Burpo becomes the story's most driven and sincere doubter.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Preachy and pretty, "Heaven" is a classy-looking product with a vanilla flavor and a pastel palette.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
Unlike many of the features targeted to what Hollywood is calling the "faith audience," the movie is well-acted and shot, often thoughtful and (intentionally) funny.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
It is the rapport between Kinnear and the boy that really holds the film together. They make the father-son relationship believable in a way that grounds "Heaven" and gives it some of its best moments.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Unfortunately, Heaven Is For Real isn't really a movie about religion so much as an attempt to appeal to the broadest possible audience of conservative evangelicals.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
This heavy-handed movie is simply a sermon its makers think we all should hear.
