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

Feb 12, 2019 the singing and music was terrible. i watched it only because i was completely bored. See more Jul 26, 2018 Good clean movie an a love story. See more May 13, 2018 Inspirational to the core. Loved it. See more Mar 1, 2017 good christian drama See more farah r @Farah Sep 15, 2016 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. See more Sep 7, 2016 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. See more Read all reviews
