Some may find the melodramatic ending is unsuited to the film's tone, but might well forgive that one negative, given the many pluses.

Reviews for As It Is in Heaven
1 - 5 (sorted by date; Australian critics are listed first)
Top CriticIt tells its tale of love, community and redemption with soap-operatic mood swings and a true believer’s faith in the transcendent powers of music.

Doesn't avoid all the pitfalls, [but] it plays things out quirkily enough to surprise and engage us.
05/21/08
As It Is in Heaven works best as a thematic piece of art. It's a statement on the ugliness of humanity and the power of music to wound, but then heal.

Not a movie for cynics.
