Let It Shine sometimes zings, thanks to excellent acting by Tyler James Williams in the Cyrano role (here, Cyrus DeBarge) and a starry soundtrack melding hip-hop, gospel, and rap.

The songs have some bangers in them. always so fun to listen to them. the songs have some fire roasts and clever rhymes. this is not at 5 stars because I feel bad for how stupid Cyrus is. Glad he gets some common sense at the end not to be an asshole :) Love it!

Let it Shine breathes new life to the DCOM musical formula adding rap and the values of church giving the story incredible depth.The characters are uniquely realized and have such chemistry within the group. This movie feels grounded and fleshed out making it stand tall in the DCOM cannon.
