As America's fight for independence begins, a young drummer boy, an enslaved woman, and a divided family each search for freedom in a world built to deny it. With music carrying hope through battle and loss, Drummer Boy turns the Revolution into a deeply human story of faith, forgiveness, and the belief that no person is born to live in chains or be forgotten.

It’s far from pa-rum-pum-hum-drum, but it certainly plays its best for us.

For those seeking a more sentimentally earnest take on early U.S. history with a more vanilla contemporary-pop sound, the latest release from Angel Studios provides a confident, mostly pleasing throwback to original screen musicals of yore.

1.5/4

Drummer Boy is too earnest for how baffling many of its choices can be and how less-than-competent much of its storytelling is.

This is what movies are meant to be it is a beautiful telling of the bond of family, the power of love, the joy in reconciliation and the hope that lies in faith. The acting, the plot and the visuals pull you in. The music, raises it to another level. I'll be going again this weekend.
