Reviews

The Film Stage -
The cinematic version of this children’s book retains an air of wonder steeped in simple resonate clichés for younger viewers enduring the same hardships as Milton Adams.

|
The Hollywood Reporter -
Sutherland brings some believable warmth to a film whose spiritual "aha" moments are generally packaged too tidily to hit home.
|
|
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
Based on the picture book co-authored by Power of Now superstar Eckhart Tolle, Milton’s Secret carries a powerful and important message, but the film feels ham-fisted, clichéd and overearnest at times, especially for adult viewers.

|
Movie Nation -
Movies like this grate largely because of their test tube “solutions” to real world problems as old as the species.

|
Los Angeles Times -
Even for something preaching spiritual tranquility, Milton’s Secret exhibits the barest trace of a pulse.
