I Can Only Imagine

I had listen to the song many, many, times before watching this movie. Love the song. I didn't have any worries about how this movie was going to turn out. I dont normally give out 10 out of 10 scores but this one is special.

Great acting. Great writing. Too truly believe in this movie you have to have belief in our creator. You have to have a heart. A soul. There is a saying in church. God is good.... All the time.

I've lost track of how many times I've watched this movie, and every time, it moves me to tears. It is relatable and yet also challenging, I always walk away inspired. Highly recommend

I Can Only Imagine is a healthy dose of positivity in a seemingly negative world. Its message of love and forgiveness is given in a way that doesn't seem forced or overly cheesy. To be honest, I remember this song being played all the time on the radio, but I had no idea what it was about. I enjoyed seeing the inspiration behind the music.

I loved this movie and have loved the song. Some criticism from reviewers who think it's stacked by friends and family of the movie. Not me. It is my first review because I would love to see more movies like this. We went the first weekend for that reason...to show support where it matters in the industry...the box office. The movie was tough for my husband who grew up with an abusive father. Brought back memories he'd rather forget. However, he also said that the movie brought him to a new place of realizing. at 57 years old, he needs to let go of that past. Be warned. If you grew up in an abusive home, you will feel things even more deeply than those who didn't. No matter who you are, take Kleenex. The acting was great and the twist on how MercyMe owned this song was very encouraging. Great film!! So glad we went!

As a Christian, I am often conflicted with the movies our 'community' produces. Too often a beautiful story can be marred by a lack of quality writing, acting, and production.

So I admit to feeling tense as I sat in the theater this morning watching I Can Only Imagine, with an expectation that some cringe-worthy line or delivery would happen at any moment. Happily, this story-in-film hits the trifecta: quality writing, quality acting, and quality production.

It's not perfect. What film is?! But in a world where abuse happens all too often, here is a story of redemption, reconciliation, and hope, and it will impact anyone who sees it in a positive way. The worst of the abuse is spoke of, not acted out, making this a safe and inspiring movie choice for almost all ages. The faith of the main character is also portrayed in a subdued way--not with Bible-thumping or speeches.

See it, regardless of your belief system. And bring Kleenex.
