Leave your thoughts about 90 Minutes in Heaven.
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsA goner granted a miraculous reprieve by God ostensibly to let us all know that paradise really exists. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekMay strike a welcome chord with the evangelical groups at whom it's obviously aimed. But for others the ploddingly preachy picture will seem more like a stint in purgatory, if not someplace even more uncomfortable. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonSo deeply terrible that it will make you question the existence of God. The dialogue is the least natural I've ever seen in a film not made by Ed Wood. |
| Screen It!Jim JudyLong and often nearly dramatically inert. Perhaps had the film spent more time detailing those heavenly ninety minutes, the offering might have worked better, or at least been more interesting. (Full Content Review for Parents also available) |
| TheWrapTricia Olszewski"90 Minutes" is one of the better faith-based films out there. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenThe Christian faith-based film genre takes a dramatic leap forward with 90 Minutes in Heaven, a well-appointed work based on Don Piper’s bestseller, that, for a change, doesn’t look and sound as though it was written, performed, and recorded in some church basement. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonChristensen underplays throughout 90 Minutes in Heaven, even in scenes when Piper isn’t operating under the influence of painkillers, and his earnestness often comes off as monotonous. Still, he generates interest and sympathy, almost in spite of himself, and Bosworth lends capable support as a loyal spouse. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt FagerholmA better title would’ve likely been “121 Minutes in Purgatory,” since that’s essentially where audiences will find themselves residing during the entirety of this dreary slog down a familiar road paved with painfully good intentions. |
| Movie MezzanineSean BurnsA staggeringly uneventful movie made for an audience to which I obviously do not belong. I'm frankly at a loss to convey how little happens during 90 Minutes in Heaven. |
| The Young FolksMatthew GoudreauAlthough it's centered around a fascinating true story, 90 Minutes in Heaven is plagued by an uneventful and padded out two hours. |
