| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansWriter-director T.C. Christensen ("17 Miracles") paces the tension of the first half sharply and handles the spiritual message thoughtfully as the lawman wrestles with his faith through his investigation. |
| Salt Lake City WeeklyScott RenshawChristensen weaves a few genuinely tense moments into his portrayal of the conditions inside the school, but the narrative faces a huge structural barrier in that the end of the crisis isn't the end of the movie. |
| Arizona RepublicRandy CordovaEverything feels pat and oversimplified, with no gray areas. That's not uncommon in films of this nature, but Christensen is unable to make the movie feel like anything more than propaganda. |
| User ReviewWilliam DGreat movie, of course the non-believers will hate it. |
| User ReviewBill SExcellent movie! Very touching and faith provoking. Loved it! |
| User ReviewMandy HTrue story don't miss this , I actually sobbed , I'm numb with the shock of this film, this film will be talked about forever 5 stars and that's the truth |

| User ReviewJeff WLoved it...Beautiful story for the times. Well done...not cheezyball Christian film. Something to bring hope and faith back into Christmas and our lives. |
| User ReviewCaitlin BLoved this movie, sweet message, totally clean no bad content of any type. |
| User ReviewVeronica LGreat movie, they did a good job of filling in the blanks at the end of the story which gave the miracle more impact. Read some of the other books and stories about this event. I think the writers did an outstanding job staying true to the original story. There were multiple miracles during the event and the writes focused on each one with the right amount of emphasis. kudos. For those that are ready to accept they are a creation from a benevolent creator, this movie will reinforce their convictions. For those that still think they are their ego and that they themselves are God, or that they were kicked out of Heaven because they are sinners, then this story will not be seen with any value, and will try to explain it away so they can stay either on their throne or in their cave. There is only God. God is love. You are love. You are only dreaming you are bad. Nothing ever happened. It's time to wake up and go home. It's that simple, Only your ego (false mind, split mind, satan mind, etc) wants it to seem to be complicated. When you are ready to wake up, the entirety of heaven will be there to guide you out of the woods. God didn't make your ego, you did. It's time to lay aside the fantasy, or burn up another lifetime on arrogance, judgments, and delusions. |
