I Can Only Imagine Reviews

Made me BALLLL. I absolutely loveeee this movie

Rated: 7.2/10 ⭐️

Threw this on because I was curious about the hit song’s real story. I honestly loved this heavy movie; it tackles tough family trauma but wraps it up with a hopeful, redemptive vibe.

What Worked:
• Quaid knocks it out of the park; his shift from an abusive dad to a repentant man is powerful.
• Finley brings raw heart to Bart, and his vocals are incredible to listen to.
• The Erwin Brothers keep it super grounded, avoiding cheesy pitfalls.

The Friction:
• The high school romance part really dragged for me and felt cliché compared to the father-son stuff.
• The music industry montages felt rushed when I just wanted more of the songwriting process.

Verdict:
Watch for a tear-jerker about forgiveness and music’s healing power. Skip if heavy family trauma overwhelms you.

just as good as my first watch. can’t help but to get emotional each time.

I can only imagine!! Can’t wait!

The movie takes a little long to get to the point of the song and minimizes the ravages of the abuse the boy had to endure so as to most effectively show the trajectory of the theme of forgiveness. But the wait is worth it as the movie's theme is fully realized by the end.

Great movie
