Review of The Song (2014) by Kim S — 26 Sep 2014

As much as one might have enjoyed the message behind most films in the "Christian" genre, it's sometimes necessary to forgive the Lifetime movie feel of the production and acting. While admittedly, movies in the genre have gradually been improving, THE SONG is so far, the best I've seen.

It's PG-13 for some suggestive situations and drug/alcohol use (so it's probably inappropriate for very young audiences), but it is by far, the most gritty, real-life representation of the struggle to keep love alive in a fallen world that could be shown while not turning away its core demographic.

While not being preachy, it speaks volumes about the temptations we face every day and how easily relationships can fall apart when both partners aren't doing what they can to keep love alive. The music is wonderful, the acting is solid, and the story is appealing enough to keep both church-goers and secular audiences engaged.

Grab your friends (and some Kleenex) and go see this movie! You won't be disappointed.
