Variety

With its strong performances, musical and otherwise, this romantic melodrama is many cuts above the faith-based norm.

The performances are uniformly fine, which keeps things involving. Powell, in particular, is terrific.

Rated: 3.5/5

A faith-based parable that draws from the Bible as much as it does from every perils-of-showbiz clich in the book.

Predictable, faith-centric film about marital fidelity.

...ultimately fails as a crossover evangelism tool in that it's hard to imagine it even grazing the heathen consciousness. But the choir will no doubt enjoy parts of it.

The Song starts like some of its clunkier faith-based predecessors. We soon learn it boasts both fine music and a sense of how temptation can rock even a strong marriage.

Rated: 3/4

One of the more preferable indie productions to be released that year, The Song modernizes the all too familiar Christian themed scenario into a lively musical with decent performances.

The Song is a romantic musical drama. There are two things that are very important to make a movie like this work. The first one is that there's good chemistry between the two main actors - Alan Powell and Ali Faulkner - that you believe in them as people. The second one is that you like the music just as much as the people in the movie do. The problem for me is that I didn't believe in the characters. I didn't believe in the love story. Things happened way too fast for me to see the love they once had. I also didn't really like the music in the movie which kind of destroyed the whole experience for me. I'm kind of disappointed. I was hoping for so much more.
