Review
A moving film, Miracles
from Heaven tells the the remarkable story of the Beam family as young
Annabel Beam is diagnosed with having an incurable (and very painful) digestive
disorder. Their journey is a hard one as
they struggle to find a cure and pay for the expensive hospital bills, all the
while trying to keep faith that God has a plan.
It is an emotional story – guaranteed tear-jerker – as the Beams goes
through a nightmarish reality as Annabel suffers terribly from a disorder where
her body cannot digest solid food. However,
miracles do happen (praise God!), and it came about
in a dramatic fashion for Annabel. The
adage “truth is stranger than fiction” couldn’t be more true than with this
story – you truly have to see it to believe it!
It is encouraging to see more faith-based films
being released. Miracles from Heaven was really well done, and holds a strong cast
of actors - Jennifer Garner in particular truly shines in her role as mom,
Christy Beam.
With respect to the rating, while this is a
family-friendly film and suitable for a wide range of audiences, the PG rating
is quite fair due to the traumatic events and emotional themes that could be
too much for some children.
Two thumbs up!
