Justin Chang Variety With its strong performances, musical and otherwise, this romantic melodrama is many cuts above the faith-based norm. Sep 28, 2014 Full Review Randy Cordova Arizona Republic The performances are uniformly fine, which keeps things involving. Powell, in particular, is terrific. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 26, 2014 Full Review Susan Wloszczyna RogerEbert.com A faith-based parable that draws from the Bible as much as it does from every perils-of-showbiz clich in the book. Rated: 2/4 Sep 26, 2014 Full Review S. Jhoanna Robledo Common Sense Media Predictable, faith-centric film about marital fidelity. Rated: 2/5 Oct 3, 2014 Full Review Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette ...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. Rated: 83/100 Sep 28, 2014 Full Review Christian Toto HollywoodInToto.com 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 Sep 26, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member the singing and music was terrible. i watched it only because i was completely bored. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Good clean movie an a love story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Inspirational to the core. Loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member good christian drama Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review farah r 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
