Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Beautiful film. I've watched it over and over and over. It's a favorite of mine. The music always grabs my heart and the trials they go through to god eachother is real struggles we all go through and give up. It's just what you dream of that you meet someone to connect this way with. It's like the first time all the time.

"MADE IN HEAVEN" given to me, years ago by a friend, who saw my relationship with my husband as a very interesting spiritual connection, was, to me, a powerful, and touching film. I have seen several films that explore the themes. "Defending Your Life", with Meryl Streep, and a great cameo with Shirley MacLaine, who has, in her personal life, explored almost all the themes of spirituality touched on,(and then some), in the movie. Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan, in "City of Angels" played an angel and a doctor, and the Angel, who helped people when they died, fell in love with her, found out from a patient, former Angel, that he could become human, and pursue his love. That developed an interesting storyline. The aunt in Made In Heaven, who took up painting, shows an idea about learning new things between lives, and seeing her paintings, or ones like hers, on earth, develops the thought of ideas shared from the minds in "heaven" as did the song,"We Never Danced", and the kids playing at computers. My own son, while very young told me he remembered choosing me to be his mother, before he was born, saying he was at school, but not like the schools here, and his teachers were helping him, because it was his time to come back, showing him the faces of all the women on the planet who were willing to be his mother, and as soon as he saw my face, he chose me, because we had been together, in family since the beginning. Whatever

The most amazing thing about this movie isn't how perfect, enlightening, romantic, positive and fulfilling it is, but rather how it has managed to stay out of the central focus of the mainstream movie kind lovers. Obviously you have to have a certain open mind to fully enjoy it, but if you do,and if you let yourself believe that things may be done and organized in a certain way and that our acts can and do have a direct impact on whatever happens to us and to those around us, then this movie will gently, softly and almost mystically put the pieces of the puzzle together for you. There is for each one of us a special someone and at the risk of having this turn into a weapon in cynical peoples' minds, this is the kind of movies which lets you know that you shouldn't give up, and that you should keep the fire alive. I have used this movie for the longest time to pick me up from hard times and gather myself ton continue ahead. I am positive it can do the same to you... Enjoy it!

For someone like Mike who's already in Heaven ( where there are lots of beautiful souls like Annie flying around), choosing to go back to earth IS A COMPLETELY WRONG CHOICE!This is taken the fact that even when Mike does finally met Annie, which he did, they could never remember their affair back in Heaven, WHAT'S THE POINT? Their big love affair in Heaven is gone for good, but if Mike chooses to stay in Heaven and wait for Annie to come back one day, there is still hope!( Particularly when there are so many things you can do while waiting for her.) At least Mike can realize and remember Annie as Annie ! Must love be so stupid and blind?Is this what the story wants to convey?
