The film offers a glimpse into an American evangelical community. Perhaps not everyone's lifestyle, but that is not why I am criticizing this film.

Indeed, at first glance, it radiates virtuousness. This is also the case in real life; people from a very strict religious community have this virtuousness instilled in them from a young age, so it is certainly realistic. You also see the fragility and vulnerability of Don Piper, the protagonist. I found his struggle and pain in that bed, the hopelessness of it, particularly strikingly portrayed. If you have just experienced something similar up close with a family member, this comparison may well apply to you. I do not know if that applies to any of the commentators above.

Then there is the religious aspect; well, you are religious or not. There is a heaven or a black hole, that is open to debate. The fact is that these NDEs are experienced by survivors all over the world in virtually the same, identical way.

Half the world burns you to the ground, the other half cheers you on. You tell me.

I think these people certainly have an experience. What this experience entails, and how it relates to this materialistic world, in which only the skin is looked at and not the content, is very personal for everyone who has gone through this.

But no less real for those who experienced it.

As long as you haven't experienced it yourself, or something similar, I would keep an open mind about this. Who knows, one day you might suddenly run into someone—a friend or even a loved one—who claims the same thing.

And then?

So, a film with integrity that touches upon the subject cautiously.

It could have been a bit more intense, as far as I'm concerned...

After a severe car accident on January 19, 1989, Reverend Don Piper [Hayden Christensen] is pronounced dead. That is, until a passerby [Michael Harding] is granted permission to pray for him on the spot and sings “What A Friend We Have In Jesus.” What follows is a long physical and mental rehabilitation project during which Don can count on the unconditional support of his wife [Kate Bosworth], his children, and his community. Based on Piper’s autobiographical bestseller, this (naturally) overflows with religious reflections. These are largely compensated for by the focus on community spirit and how valuable it is to open oneself up to the help of others. For agnostics, this remains difficult to digest, despite the solid acting and polished production.
