“Rated: 5 Stars. Glimpses of Heaven is a rare glance into the lives of three men who have suffered greatly at the hands of others and have managed to turn that suffering into something positive, and ultimately into art….Their ability to take such suffering and transform it into beauty is a testament to hope and the resilience of the human spirit. Highly Recommended.”
—Rebecca Howes, Independent Rising Magazine 

“Glimpses of Heaven weaves together the life stories of three artists. As the title suggests, this is a story of hope. But it’s also about finding a way out of hell. Each of the men share their experience of healing themselves after grim childhoods and the lessons learned from years of inward exploration.”
—Robert Alstead, Common Ground Magazine 

“First-time Canadian director Michael Oved Dayan shows us the strength of the human spirit and its ability to undertake anything in his U.S. premiere of Glimpses of Heaven. Using courage and creativity, three men emerge from traumatic childhood struggles to artistic success.”
—Amy Chong, Santa Barbara Independent

“There is a universality to the film’s message; a sense that hope and healing are possible in the face of seemingly immutable sadness.”
—Katherine Hamer, Editor, Jewish Independent

“Not only did the men survive their harrowing introductions to the world, they transformed... each channeling his pain and employing his inextinguishable creativity to protect and nourish his spirit…The inspirational soul of the film strikes a chord across many communities.”
