I was not impressed with Things Heard & Seen.
The quote from the beginning should have been a clue:
“This I can declare: things that are in heaven are more real than things that are in the world.”
― Emanuel Swedenborg
As this review states:
It’s safe to assume any movie that opens with a quote from 17th century pluralistic-Christian theologian (and big time spiritualist) Emanuel Swedenborg has a lot on its mind......
Yet, at the end of the review, there is this:
But while the movie keeps returning to the idea of death as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, it never finds a way to connect the two sides of the story it’s telling, which ultimately defangs them both.
In other words, don't bother watching it.
