Re: Miracles from Heaven
I can see why this got that rare A+. Its a movie that you can enjoy as a family movie even if you are not a religious person. The family aspects though manipulative makes you care for the characters. Garner does great job and convincingly portrays both believer and a non-believer well even when script does not give her much outside the corny stay-in-home-mom stuff. I was also amazed that these things really happened to the family. Not much to be done here by rest of the cast and certain scenes are cringe-worthy but if you allow the film it will surely make you cry in one of the scenes.
7/10 [A-]

Re: Miracles from Heaven
7/10 for an A-
A- starts at 8.5 for me, and a 7 would be at most a B
What does your rank chart looks like?

Re: Miracles from Heaven
OK, now everything makes sense.
I still find it odd, you don't use 10, but do use A+.
And I would use C- too.
Your double digit number I can more relate to, but also there, I would use more overlap in grading.

Re: Miracles from Heaven
I grew up with percentages so for me its a bit odd grading them. I think I will just stick to percentages/points instead of grading.
