    A sweet sweet spiritual movie

    Do not look at the 5.7 that is the current rating for Southern Gospel. This is not a cheesy, church actors movie that has the potential to be good but fails miserably because it is so poorly produced. This is as well made as Jesus Revolution, a story of redemption and forgiveness and real life with real issues that can negatively shape our destinies if we let them. Some find their way out of the vortex of darkness by the light of Christ, yet others choose to take matters into their hands and suffer the consequences. Southern Gospel addresses topics such as child molestation, addiction, and suicide and might not be suitable for young viewers, but it has so much to offer as a faith-based movie and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Inspiring and Great Music!

    Loved this film! Based on true events, this film is inspiring and touches the heart. Love the music and the actors did a wonderful job portraying their characters. Very believable and well written. We need more films like this one. If you feel like you have a dream but obstacles are many, watch this film and let it ignite a fire in you to never give up on that dream. It's a story of redemption and hope. I highly recommend you see this film and then share your experience with others. It will be money well spent and I promise you, you will leave the theater with new intention to keep pressing forward towards your dream.

    Not Your Typical Faith-Based Movie

    There are a lot of incredible faith-based films out there. However, this movie is completely unique in it's approach to telling a Christian story that is not cookie cutter or even PG. It's refreshing to watch a faith-based film that is written in a way that's honest and doesn't shy away from the brutal realities of someone's life. The cinematography is top notch, the acting and singing is great and then knowing on top of all of that that this is a true story just makes this movie incredibly impactful for the viewer. This movie is not like the rest and is certainly worth the watch, whether you're religious or not! 10/10!

    Inspiring

    Sothern Gospel is an amazing inspiring story. This movie is extremely well written and keeps you engaged since the beginning. Never surrender the dream God has given you even in the midst of hardship and trials is one of the main topics of this movie. Furthermore, it is inspiring to see how God's plans are revealed in the main character's life and how the dream becomes a reality even though they had to overcome hard times. Additionally, the cinematography, acting and singing is amazing and beyond my expectations for an independent film. It is worth the watch even if you are not a believer or religious.

    I have seen it two times already, recommended it to family and friends from different states which all agree this is a fantastic inspiring movie. Plan on seeing it a third time before it is removed from theaters.

    When is the soundtrack being released? The majority of the songs are also original and created by the director, Jeffery Smith.

    Never surrender the dream!

    Powerful and inspiring

    Southern Gospel, directed by Jeffrey A. Smith, is a powerful and inspiring film. The film takes viewers on a journey through the lives of Samuel and Julie, each with their own struggles and challenges, who fight to hold onto a dream.

    The film's exceptional cinematography transports viewers to the heart of the South, and the music in the film brings to mind the rich musical traditions of churches in the South. The performances of the cast are equally impressive, bringing the music to life with stunning vocals and heartfelt emotion.

    One of the most remarkable aspects of Southern Gospel is its ability to convey a message of hope and perseverance, even in the face of life's toughest challenges.

    Overall, Southern Gospel is a must-see film that will leave you feeling uplifted and inspired. With its stunning visuals, exceptional performances, and powerful message, it is a testament to the power of film to encourage and uplift the soul.
