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.
50
Sutherland brings some believable warmth to a film whose spiritual "aha" moments are generally packaged too tidily to hit home.

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.
38
Movies like this grate largely because of their test tube “solutions” to real world problems as old as the species.
30
Even for something preaching spiritual tranquility, Milton’s Secret exhibits the barest trace of a pulse.
