Miracles From Heaven is the latest faith-based film starring Jennifer Garner as Christy Beam whose daughter gets cured from an incurable disease by a God given miracle. Based on true events, Beam's daughter fall 30 feet down a tree and the trauma heals her intestinal disease.
Initially Beam is told her daughter is lactose intolerant or having a bad case of acid reflux, but Beam isn't convinced and pushes for additional testing. When the real problem is revealed, she and her daughter Anna, travel to Boston to meet with the best pediatric gastroenterologist in the country. Dr. Nurko treats Anna until she is miraculously cured. The circumstances in the film may be hard to believe, but that is the main message.
Overall the film is one that makes the audience feel good. Jennifer Garner delivers a strong performance as a mother desperate for answers as she sees her daughter suffering.
This film is certainly meant for a specific audience. It is a feel good film meant to tell a true story. Whether it is believable not is up to the audience to decide.
4/5 stars
