Co-directed by Andrew Erwin and Jon Erwin, I Can Only Imagine follows a true story based on a song by possibly the most popular faith-based song ever played on Christian radio – I Can Only Imagine by MercyMe.
The story follows Bart Millard, who the lead singer of the Christian band MercyMe. His relationship with his troubled father played to the core by Dennis Quaid. I saw a dynamic clip of Quaid playing an emotionally torqued father. I encourage you to see the movie, just to Quaid, amazing.
The message in the movie, which is totally Christian, nobody is ever too far from God’s love — for too far from an eternal home in Heaven.
Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming are happening. If you are faith-based movie watcher or not, it’s worth seeing. The Blu-ray/DVD trailer is way better than the movie theater trailer.
The movie also stars Cloris Leachman, Trace Adkins, Michael Finley, Priscilla Shire, and Madeline Carroll.
