Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling book of the same name, Heaven is for Real brings to the screen the true story of a small-town father who must find the courage and conviction to share his son's extraordinary, life-changing experience with the world. The film stars Academy Award® nominee and Emmy® award winning actor Greg Kinnear as Todd Burpo and co-stars Kelly Reilly as Sonja Burpo, the real-life couple whose son Colton (newcomer Connor Corum) claims to have visited Heaven during a near death experience. Colton recounts the details of his amazing journey with childlike innocence and speaks matter-of-factly about things that happened before his birth... things he couldn't possibly know. Todd and his family are then challenged to examine the meaning from this remarkable event.

Critics Consensus: Heaven Is for Real boasts a well-written screenplay and a talented cast, but overextends itself with heavy-handed sequences depicting concepts it could have trusted the audience to take on faith.

2014 is proving to be the year that faith-based cinema is breaking out of its credible indie vibe and sweeping into wide release mode.

Sarah's Backstage Pass

Sarah Knight Adamson

The script stumbles a few times and is a bit too wordy, but the strong acting makes up for it. This is a feel-good family film that just may cause you to shed a tear or two...

Despite its many good points, Heaven is for Real can't escape its limitations, and does at times feel like a TV movie of the week. It is an intriguing story, yet it fails to analyze the issues at hand in any depth.

Bowling Green Daily News

Micheal Compton

Presents some compelling theological arguments with a first-rate cast and, for the most part, good direction.

[Heaven is for Real] is simply a good, old-fashioned film the entire family can enjoy and maybe, just maybe, it could spark some insightful conversation.
