Sunrise in Heaven

If you want to see a Christian love story this is the one to watch. Without giving away any details , all I can say is this movie had me in tears. It makes you realize, as a Christian, sometimes things are out of our control but we still need to rely on God to get us through.

If you like stories based on true ones, this is a great one to watch. At times it seemed to move a little slow but I think it was necessary.

It reminded me some of The Notebook because it switched back and forth from the present to their early days when they met and were dating.

This is one of the very best Christian movies I've seen. I was raised Catholic and have a strong faith. In the same respect, I don't need religion consistently thrown in my face. I think that's what impressed me so much. It didn't push actual religion. It pushed faith. I thought the acting was excellent. Corbin Bernson never disappoints. And I loved his character!! I could easily see a 1960's dad, especially military being exactly as he was!! And how nice to see Dee Wallace as Mom again. I thought Caylee and Travis did outstanding jobs!!

Ok there something good in movies. It's about the Love story among them. It's incredible love!!! I didn't believe that there's a loving like this in real life! Anyway the problem is the scenes move slowly. It's a little boring

Heartwarming, bittersweet tale of lifelong couple injured in a car accident, faced with the difficult prospect of ending their union when the husband fails to recover from his injuries. Burroughs plays the modern day wife reflecting on her marriage through flashbacks, recalling her over-bearing military father (Bernsen), a future father in law from hell as the young couple attempt to navigate his cruel overprotectiveness.

Bernsen's treatment of the younger husband is manifestly sadistic at times, equivalent to some form of extreme hazing that not even his much-loved wife (Wallace) can ameliorate.

Technically the film is fine if a bit slow at times, although there's a few moments of minor concern e.g. The heart-rate monitor of the apparently dying man was clearly visible at 80 bpm and then there's the scene where Cowan's character is speaking with Pastor Robert (Morris), fighting back tears whilst trying to make sense of her predicament, when a very visible candlestick emerges from her right nostril and begins its journey south toward her quivering lip. I was disappointed the pastor didn't offer her a handkerchief at this point, instead she sort of attempted to wipe it away but instead appeared to consume it. I guess there's no second takes when you're making an independent movie.

Unremarkable except perhaps for Bernsen's wicked turn (he's become something of the dab hand at these gruff father figures on the Lifetime channel), and then of course the aforementioned mucosal moment which is immortal. If you've ever endured the end of life situation depicted in this film, then some of the scenes and dialogue may be uncomfortable, but overall the story is delivered with tact and reverence and it's a sincere effort.
