I wanted to give this movie a try, and wasted 100 min. It's a lovely, idyllic story of a "perfect" family and their little boy who had a NDE, reportedly based on a real life story which was later debunked by the very boy who was supposed to have experienced it. So I'm not even sure why it's still on Netflix. The story might have been believable if it came from a family that does not believe in Jesus and God. But, let's face it, this boy Colton, was born to the reverend and has been hearing bible stories since the moment he took first breath. From technical side the acting was ok. The little boy wasn't fantastic, as some have written, though he is very cute and sweet, but he acts at the level of his age. He repeats what he is told to say. Honestly, the most enjoyable part of this movie were the landscapes and vistas of the Nebraska fields surrounding the Burpo homestead. Otherwise, it's a totally forgettable movie.
