I Can Only Imagine (2018)

Genre: Biographical / Drama
Directed by: Erwin Brothers
Cast: J. Michael Finley, Dennis Quaid, Madeline Carroll
Running Time: 110 minutes


 

This film tells the story of how Bart Millard overcame a childhood of abuse by his father and abandonment by his mother to become the lead singer of the band MercyMe and the writer of the best-selling Christian single of all-time, I Can Only Imagine.

Since this is a Christian film, subtlety is not on the menu. Everything is overblown and overdone. That being said, beyond the natural clichés of that genre, the story told here is a compelling one and the acting is pretty good. Overall, this was a cute inspiring story about the power of dream and resilience.
