Audience Member This movie is really bad. Just the way the movie is edited would make even the slightest intrigued movie-goer turn it off because of how fake this movie feels. All of the ADR, the poor acting, the wig the main guy wears, editing, the script isn't anything special, nothing in this movie feels real. Nearly every scene transition is followed by a cheesy monologue with useless b-roll that makes you feel like you're watching a commercial. The story is your typical music industry vs musician (who changes throughout the movie ever so slightly, and is affected by what fame does to them) plot. Even for a movie about Christianity and faith, if I were a full blown Christian watching this movie, I'd want a better movie to state what my religion was supposed to be taken as, but most of these Christian movies always have the same preachy and snarky attitude to them, that they're always different than the average Christian. The sound design in this movie is painful. In most of the cutaway monologue scenes, there's an ear piercing screech that blares, I'm guessing that the movie is trying to set the mood of what the character is saying? For an average person coming across this movie, not knowing that this movie is a biopic, and that this person makes Christian contemporary music, would throw you off a little bit. If you personally don't know who this guy is, then there's really no point in watching it/wanting to watch it in the first place. Which I didn't know who he was so I had to read the Rich Mullins wiki page, which honestly reading his story was even more interesting than watching this movie, I advise you just do that. Don't let this movie waste your time, and go find a better musician biopic movie to watch. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Mark S A rich and moving biopic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/19 Full Review Audience Member I thought it was a fantastic movie. Rich Mullins seemed to be a man tormented by his inner struggles, which came through in his music. You can feel the passion behind his writing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Highly recommended for everyone to see, great movie! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the greatest Christian musicians and honest humans to have had on this earth. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a refreshing honest look at what a contemporary Christian artist really faces. I never really cared anything for Rich Mullins music. Still don't. But I respect who he was and where he came from after watching this movie. His life didn't resolve like most Christian movies do. He wrestled with his faith, alcohol, humility in the midst of being a star. I was very impressed that it didn't fall into the trap of becoming evangelistic in tone. Just a story and character many can relate to and sympathize with. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
