“A touching and personal journey through the life of one man, and beyond. Creative direction and beautiful storytelling are the highlight of Heaven. Mr. Benfield, who also wrote and starred in the film, executes a masterful grasp of narrative, creating a visually interesting and emotionally compelling account of Jonathan’s journey. The use of flashbacks as a storytelling device in filmmaking can sometimes get old, but Benfield’s brilliant concept of telling the story backward and forward is quite dazzling. The general overall feeling of the film is transcendent and gripping.”

“Jonathan Stone is a quiet, everyman protagonist many viewers will relate to. At the center of this story is a man whose character also feels refreshingly three-dimensional in his quiet, mundane struggles, he meanders between heartfelt faith and deep doubt…and in each of those very human struggles, Jonathan Stone is someone I can relate to. Viewers looking for a humble story that encourages their faith amid life’s inevitable struggles may find it here.”

“At a time when hope is at a minimum, when all seems to be falling apart, this movie reminds us that all of the trials and tribulations of this world will melt away when we reach our forever home, Heaven.”

“Strong salvation message. Shows the simplicity of coming to Jesus and His free gift of salvation! Gives hope to everyone; because we all have trials and need hope.”

“A thoughtful film about a couple with a regrettable past, a painful present, and a bountiful future, i.e., they’re like you and me. The God of the Bible delights in redeeming the hopeless. Check it out and be blessed!”
