Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes Christian faith and divine intervention as the ultimate solution to suffering, reinforcing a worldview strongly aligned with traditional conservative religious values.
The movie features visible diversity in its supporting cast, with minority actors in significant roles. However, the narrative primarily focuses on themes of faith and family, without explicitly critiquing or centering on traditional identities or explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays Angela Bradford, a real-life individual who is white, with a Black actress (Queen Latifah). Additionally, Dr. Nurko, a real historical figure who is white, is portrayed by a Hispanic actor (Eugenio Derbez). These instances constitute race swaps.
The film unequivocally portrays Christianity in a positive light, depicting a family's unwavering faith as the source of strength through adversity and the catalyst for a miraculous healing. It affirms the power of prayer, divine intervention, and the supportive nature of the Christian community.
Miracles from Heaven is a faith-based drama centered on a family's struggle with their daughter's chronic illness and her subsequent miraculous recovery. The film's narrative does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, focusing instead on its core religious and family-oriented plot.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is based on a true story, and all major historical figures are portrayed by actors matching their documented gender. No characters established as one gender in the source material or history are depicted as a different gender on screen.
