I Can Only Imagine's message will have the most impact among Christian audiences, but overall, its performances and storytelling represent a notable evolution in faith-based cinema.

The movie works for the same reason the song does: It lightens the burden of the pain people are shouldering today, and gives them something to look forward to. Mar 18, 2018 | Full Review…

This is an interesting idea, executed with a reductive, tin-eared understanding of what constitutes art to go along with a faith-based movie's reductive, tin-eared understanding of what constitutes entertainment. Mar 16, 2018 | Rating: D | Full Review…

Why is the movie made from a universally healing single such an earnest, awkward dud? Well, partly because the movie can't settle on what's more important, the family stuff or the ascension of the song as a fame-inducing anthem. Mar 16, 2018 | Full Review…

An inspirational drama that, unlike most faith-based endeavors, at least looks like a real movie rather than something even Ed Wood would have rejected. Jun 17, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Solid if unapologetically by-the-numbers, this story of perseverance and forgiveness should resonate beyond its targeted Christian audience. Jun 10, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
