You can't endear when you're subtly insulting, and Miracles From Heaven's otherwise good intentions are lost in its confusing mix of uplifting spirituality and judgment.

It is a movie by believers, about believers, for believers, to the exclusion of all else, custom-tailored for private church-group showings.
Barbara VanDenburgh, Arizona Republic

Riggen has no shame when it comes to jerking the tears, and sometimes her manipulations work even on the hardest of hearts... One thing she should probably work on is the comedy.
Peter Keough, Boston Globe

It's a good Christian film that plays to its audience and preaches the importance of neighborly values.
Adam Graham, Detroit News

The question is never what will happen to 10-year-old Anna (Kylie Rogers), who suffers a bloated belly and chronic pain. The only issue is how long she, and the audience, will have to wait to find out.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
