Healing Hands (TV Movie 2010)

Healing Hands: Directed by Bradford May. With Eddie Cibrian, Patrick Duffy, Lisa Sheridan, Meagen Fay. A near death experience gives a young man, engaged to be married, the ability to heal people.

“Eddie Cibrian is a janitor who recovers from an accident and discovers that he has acquired healing powers. The movie explores the implications of his new-found gift, especially the cost that it imposes on him and the people close to him. Cibrian is likeable and carries the movie gracefully, with an adequate supporting cast. u0026quot;Resurrectionu0026quot; (1980), with Ellen Burstyn, is a superior movie that explores most of the same themes on a much deeper level, and packs a far more powerful emotional punch. But u0026quot;Healing Handsu0026quot; will always have a special place in my heart because of the circumstances under which I saw it — on vacation with my 1-year old grand-daughter, who is just acquiring many of the abilities that I find myself gradually losing as a septuagenarian. u0026quot;Healing Handsu0026quot; resonated with that situation and gave me a perspective from which to accept generously, even embrace, the inevitable process of aging. My nine stars are a personal tip of the hat for that gift. You canu0026#39;t ask for much more from a movie.”
