After the breakout success of I Can Only Imagine, MercyMe's Bart Millard is living the dream--sold-out arenas, a devoted fanbase, and a thriving career. But Bart's world begins to shift under the weight of devastating challenges, including a life-changing diagnosis for his young son, Sam. As Bart struggles to hold his family together, his wife Shannon becomes the steady anchor--caring for Sam, supporting Bart, and holding on to hope when it feels far away. When Sam and newcomer Tim Timmons join the band for their biggest tour yet, Bart must navigate the demands of fatherhood and the pressures of fame, all while helping his son find the courage to sing his own song.

A busy but lifeless follow-up to the 2018 bio-drama about singer-songwriter Bart Millard (John Michael Finley) and how he overcame adversity.

I am not the target audience for this, but I think it does what it needs to do for the audience it's serving.

Even if you go into “I Can Only Imagine 2” feeling immersed in the Bart Millard saga, the new movie is a bit of an odd duck, like a faith-based drama on tranquilizers, because it keeps tossing out conflicts that aren’t all that major (or convincing).

The film effectively and delicately explores pertinent themes such as intergenerational trauma, the life and death drive, the complex father–child dynamic, the artist’s vocation and the challenges they face [Full Review in Spanish]

Milo Ventimiglia’s strong performance and the film’s polished production keep it watchable, even if the story itself lacks sustained tension.

May not be a "must-see", however, it’s not a waste of time. If you were a fan of the first film, you will surely appreciate this one and its heartfelt message about overcoming your inner demons and being thankful for every day.

LOVED this movie. Real life situations, excellent acting (the actors WERE the person they played), and they spoke of real issues that we all have to deal with. Characters were NOT perfect, but were human. Totally relatable. Wonderful wonderful movie.

Very uplifting, showing the struggles of dysfunctional parenting being transferred to another generation and the struggle to break that. The last concert scenes were the best and teary.
