Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: It's no triumph, but at least the makers and musicians want to touch your soul. For some, that may be enough. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: I loved the music and I admired its good intentions. But there are just too many sub-professional touches for me to recommend the film. Read more
Bob Townsend, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: When the music isn't pounding in sanctified syncopation, the look and the dialogue of The Gospel are a lot like what you might see and hear on daytime TV. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: A heartfelt but muddled melodrama. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: The Gospel is rousing, affirmative entertainment. Read more
Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly: It's a rich portrait of a church in transition. Read more
Mark Olsen, L.A. Weekly: There's a lot of talk here about religion, as well as plenty of gospel singing, but no sense of what these characters truly believe. Read more
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: Voices soar in The Gospel, but the story drags. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: A sermon writ as large as a multiplex movie screen. Read more
