Heaven Sent (2023) User Reviews

Not bad

[BandSAboutMovies · 6/10 · 27 May 2023]

Elise (Karen Abercrombie), a grandmother hurt by her past, and Patrick (Leon Pridgen), a widowed pastor have given up on love. But can faith bring them together?

Directed by Joanne Hock and written by Tara Lynn Marcelle and star and executive producer Karen Abercrombie, this is the first time I've seen Dallas star Charlene Tilton in a movie for some time.

This is a Pure Flix release, so if you're not into faith movies, consider this before watching.

Elise is devoted to her grandson Derek (Jemarcus Kilgore) and her store Moxie. Pastor Patrick is just as concerned with those who worship at his church. It seems that neither has time for a relationship. However, the congregation decides to use technology to get the two of them together.

I realize that the majority of my site is devoted to martial arts, giallo, Jess Franco and the sleazier side of film. Consider this a refreshing break where we watch a movie that is meant for families and those that are trying to do the right thing.

I also enjoyed that the film didn't make fun of faith, as well as having a cast that is racially diverse without calling it out. It's a nice thing to see in films, especially religious themed movies.

I enjoyed watching Heaven Sent. I loved the themes of second chances, letting go, moving forward, the power of forgiveness and leaning on God when troubles arises. I instantly liked the characters. I believe many other viewers will find themselves in at least one of the characters. It had a lot of scenes all throughout that had me laughing out loud. I thought it was a touching, sweet, inspirational and heartwarming story that would be a perfect addition to a family movie night I am giving Heaven Sent a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for families of all ages and for those who enjoy watching sweet Romantic Comedies.

I received an early screen link of Heaven Sent from Pure Flix, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

fair movie

It is not the best representation of the Christian faith. The leads were okay. Pastor did not really minister to the separating couple. I have seen several Pure Flix originals and most are very inspiring, but this one was not. The actor who played the pastor was a likeable character. Hardly recognized Charlene Tilton. Her character was energetic. The leading lady was also likeable and charming. The acting was good, chemistry was good, and the place where it was filmed was picturesque. The romance was believable. The closing song was very good and sung by grandson and his girlfriend. Christian situations could have been better written.
