Have you seen ‘Miracles’?

The budget for tissues in “Miracles From Heaven” must have been significant. In every other scene, Jennifer Garner seems to be reduced to tears. You may be, too. I went through six tissues during the movie and one afterward. If, movie ratings were given here in tissues rather than popcorn boxes, “Miracles From Heaven” would rate seven tissues.

“Miracles From Heaven” is more than about just turning on the waterworks. It’s one of those films that, having seen it, makes you see the world a bit differently. After seeing the film, it seemed to me that everyday occurances seemed to be heightened. Everyday miracles. A miracle in every minute.

In “Miracles From Heaven,” Jennifer Warner plays Christy Beam, a happily-married Burleson, Ft. Worth, Texas, area mother who, with her husband, Kevin (Martin Henderson) and their three daughters, are a devoted weekly church services-going Christian family. Anna (Kylie Rogers), age 10 and one of the daughters, develops a stomach and intestine problem whereby she cannot digest food. The illness is diagnosed as pseudo-obstruction motility disorder, said to be an incurable malady.

There follows a series of very expensive visits by mother and daughter to Boston Children’s Hospital, as well as procedures and disappointing diagnoses by Dr. Samuel Nurko (Eugenio Derbez), a pediatric gastroenterologist. The mother questions her faith, despite the counseling of the church pastor (John Carroll Lynch). In Boston, the mother and daughter befriend a waitress Angela (Queen Latifah), who shows them the city, expecially the Boston Aquarium and Museum of Fine Arts, where Monet’s “Water Lilies” painting figures symbolically in the movie’s story.

Anna’s treatments for her illness seem to help her condition. Anna and her mother return to the Texas homestead. Anna is playing outside with her sisters, Adelynn (Courtney Fansler) and Abbie (Brighton Sharbino). Anna and Abbie climb the old tree in the backyard. Spoiler alert: You can guess what happens next.

Patricia Riggen (“The 33,” 2015; “Girl In Progress,” 2012; “Under The Same Moon,” 2007) directs “Miracles From Heaven” from a screenplay by Randy Brown (“Trouble With The Curve,” 2012). The movie is is based on the book, “Miracles From Heaven: A Little Girl, Her Journey to Heaven, and Her Amazing Story of Healing,” by Christy Beam.

“Miracles From Heaven” tells a simple story in a simple, straightforward manner. And yet there is nothing simple about this story, or faith or one’s beliefs. Everyday miracles. A miracle in every minute.
