As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie, adapted from a true story, has more meaning then a lot of the other junk out there. Sure, as a Christian, I may be biased towards liking this movie. But I highly recommend it to anyone who has struggled with faith, doubt, or even cancer. But this movie has a great message that needs to be told. It seems strange, the places they take this movie to, but it is a heartfelt story nonetheless. I should warn you that there are sad parts to it, but there are good parts as well. You may not like the ending, but it is better than most. I would love to own this movie and watch it all the time, even though I don't know where to get a copy. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a very serious drama movie to watch that even Christians can agree on liking. If you aren't one, I still recommend it in case you have ever lost someone close to you in your life, much like the characters do at the end of the movie.

I do not care that this is a Christian film, it makes no difference whatsoever to the brilliant cinematography and narrative.This film is full of warmth, sadness and explores true emotion. It touches the heart in a way that anyone of any religion (or none at all) can enjoy thoroughly. I am not religious, and I was sceptical at first, but I found that this film explores so much more than religion in ways that I never would have expected. The emphasis on devotion to family is something that should be cherished by all people and this film delivers the true meaning of love and loss, and the fluctuating path life often takes. I found the characters easy to relate to and it opened my eyes to the blessings in my own life.

This was a great movie to watch. The acting and directing was not perfect but compared to the tons of excellently acted and directed contemporary films which are morally and spiritually disgusting, who cares? The film had a great message showed a tenderness and vulnerability in men (and women and children) struggling with real hardship, and life-and-death issues. It also portrayed Christian faith in God as an issue to grapple with yet one that is as real, as God Himself. Today's movies aim to shock, revolt, entertain and disgust. They can make you vomit with made-up blood and gore, sadism and cruel and deprave treatment of men. The cussing and cursing, sex and violence are so prolific in most movies as if these elements make a film profound in and of themselves. Yet, the masses amass to watch those flicks and give them highest ratings. The acting and directing in the mainstream films is superb, but their message is vile, repetitive, and eventually boring. "Letters to God" is none of the above, and that's why it is original, refreshing, thought-provoking and uplifting. It is the message that matters and in the end makes this a must-see film.

A friend of mine recommended this movie to me. I am usually a bit skeptical when it comes to Christian movies (although I am a devout Christian), because I rarely actually like what they put on the screen (maybe because of low budget also, that would be my guess). Despite all, I ENJOYED this movie a lot! I would recommend it to anyone who needs a wake up call, that life isn't all about fun, all about fame and all about money. It goes beyond.... it's about relationships, family and most important, your eternity. It's based on true story, which is cool! To know that the love of a young child for God actually made a difference! All I can say is Praise God! I wish I had Tylor's faith when facing such a giant as his sickness.
