10-year-old Bart Millard lives with his mother and abusive father Arthur in Texas. One day his mother drops him off at a Christian camp where he meets Shannon. Upon his return from camp, Bart finds his mother has left and movers are removing her belongings. He angrily confronts his father, who denies that his abusiveness was the reason she left. Years later, in high school, Bart and Shannon are dating. Bart plays football to please his father but is injured, breaking both ankles and ending his career. The only elective with openings is music class, so he reluctantly signs up.

I knew nothing of this song. I knew nothing of this story. Nothing. I had seen the trailer and heard the movie was doing good numbers so I thought I would take a chance. What a great movie. This is the story of the leader of the Contemporary Christian band "Mercy Me" and his journey from being an abused child to his adult success. But mostly is the very difficult journey of learning how to forgive. That's why I was wiping my nose on my sleeve and physically weeping by the end. Now, I just have to listen to the original song. But I will bring Kleenex. Fool me once. 9/10

Fair for a Christian movie. Didn't care for the actor of the main character. Dennis Quaid was good.

This movie was great, I feel they could have done a little more but all in all it is well worth the watch. Remember your tissues, this movie is enough to bring anyone to tears in a good way.

*Disclaimer: This isn't any sort of "official" review. This is just one ordinary movie-goer's opinion...

Lovely movie. 😊

I honestly wasn't expecting much, but I wanted to support MercyMe, and I always like to throw my support whenever a movie theater plays a good, clean movie like this one. More

"Though it will never be championed as an insightful work of either religious art or patriarchal psychology, I Can Only Imagine does manage to be a good film about a great song..."
