Leave your thoughts about The Gospel.
| Princeton Town TopicsKam WilliamsWhile The Gospel's faith-laced dialogue might annoy non-Christians, the plot mostly explores themes of a universal nature. Recommended to members of any faith for the stirring, onscreen performance of Grammy-winner Yolanda Adams. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaAn appealing and entertaining package that makes up for whatever it lacks in perfectly polished sheen in exuberance and passion for its subject and message. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThe Gospel is rousing, affirmative entertainment. |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkThe Gospel already has a built-in audience, and I imagine that they'll be pretty satisfied with this musical/drama. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertLike an Astaire and Rogers musical, this is a movie you don't go to for the dialogue. |
| Entertainment WeeklyScott BrownIt's a rich portrait of a church in transition. |
| Ebert & RoeperRichard RoeperI loved the music and I admired its good intentions. But there are just too many sub-professional touches for me to recommend the film. |
| L.A. WeeklyMark OlsenThere may be an audience out there for any movie about gospel music, regardless of how bad it is, but as filmmaking or as drama, it's hard to imagine anyone singing the praises of this one. |
| New York PostKyle SmithThe gospel according to The Gospel is this: There's a party at God's house, and you're invited. |
| Chicago ReaderAndrea GronvallWriter-director Rob Hardy opts for family-friendly drama but tones down the conflicts so much that none of the story lines can rival the music. |
