Synopsis
I Can Only Imagine tells the touching true story behind the best-selling Christian song of all time. Before he was writing hit singles as the front man for the award-winning Christian band MercyMe, Bart Millard (J. Michael Finley) was a young man with a turbulent relationship with his abusive father (Dennis Quaid). Years of pain and secrets drove them apart, until his father’s cancer diagnosis inspires change in both their lives. Can they finally reconcile and forge the kind of bond that had always eluded them? “I Can Only Imagine” brought hope to millions of listeners, but it was inspired by a very personal tale of forgiveness and faith.

Atom User Reviews
Great movie. A nice break from the vulgar and provocative movies that have become the norm for Hollywood. It was wonderful to be able to see a movie with my family without worrying about sexual content or profanity or the usual objectifying of women.
Eyes just could not stop leaking. Loved every bit of this true story.
Metacritic
For all the faith-based platitudes baked into the script, it has to be conceded that directing brothers Andrew and Jon Erwin steer the ship steadily and draw out sincere and persuasive performances from Finley, who really can sing gloriously well, and Quaid, who even with a now ravaged visage is still just as dangerous, compelling and sexy as ever.
If the film is affecting, it's due to Quaid's dark, committed performance as an incredibly troubled man.
It’s a drab, emotionally flat film.
