Review of Heaven Is for Real (2014) by Dann M — 22 Aug 2014
Based on true events, Heaven Is For Real is a compelling character drama from writer/director Randall Wallace. Starring Greg Kinnear, Kelly Reilly, and Thomas Haden Church, the film has a good cast that delivers some strong performances.
The story follows a country pastor who goes through a crisis of faith when his son claims to have visited Heaven during a near death experience. It's rather interesting how the issues of faith and Heaven are dealt with, and kept on a personal level.
Still, the answers the film provides are a rather passe and superficial. Heaven Is For Real presents a unique and provocative look at spiritual issues, but it doesn't offer anything that revelatory.
