🎼❤️ I STILL BELIEVE MOVIE [2020] [BLU-RAY+DVD] K. J. APA, BRITT ROBERTSON 🎼❤️ COMPLETE!!

I STILL BELIEVE: PLOT

In Lafayette, Indiana, 1999, Jeremy Camp (KJ Apa) is a young man going away to college – in California – for the first time. He says goodbye to his younger brothers, Jared (Nicolas Bechtel) and Josh (Reuben Dodd), who has special needs. When his parents Tom and Terry (Gary Sinise and Shania Twain) drop him off at the bus, his father gives him a going-away present: an expensive brand new guitar. At college, he sneaks backstage at a music venue to meet Jean-Luc La Joie (Nathan Parsons), lead singer of a Christian rock group, The Kry, that he admires. Jean-Luc ends up letting him help out on the crew. At the concert, Jeremy sees Melissa Henning (Britt Robertson) singing along in the crowd. Afterward, he introduces himself to her.

Drew's Reviews (at home): I Still Believe (2020)

As we all sit at home and wait for movie theaters to re-open, I've certainly been watching dozens of films to add to my own personal film resume. Why not share that journey with you guys? Until this COVID-19 crisis has (relatively) passed, I'll be writing these smaller, random blurbs to keep you updated on what I'm watching. My viewing choices are very random; I have people determine what I'm going to watch using a very intricate system, broken down into various categories. Here's my review of the latest movie condemned to VOD by the COVID-19 crisis, faith-based drama I Still Believe.

I STILL BELIEVE: THEME

Regarding the film's main theme, Jeremy Camp, on whose life the film is based, said that it "tells my story and shares what God has done amidst all the hard things I went through. It shows hope in the midst of pain."

The film's stars, Apa, Robertson and Twain, also shared their thoughts on the film's themes, with Twain commenting that "[t]his is [about] a love that goes beyond fear, that goes beyond any doubt[.]" Apa said that

it's [about] journeying through your biggest fear and coming out on the other side and still loving God ... I hope people, after seeing the love between Jeremy and Melissa, think, 'I hope that I could one day be in love like that.

I Still Believe's co-director, Jon Erwin, said in an interview with the Baptist Press that

[the] film grapples with [the question of why God allows suffering.] ... I think we forget so many times that there is a beauty, and a purpose, and a meaning in the difficult things we go through. And that sometimes God uses those things more than He uses the good things that happen to shape us, to mold us and to give us our voice. ... It's a love story as God intended, between these two people and God, and between these two people and each other.

I STILL BELIEVE: CRITICAL RESPONSE

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, I Still Believe holds an approval rating of 50% based on 44 reviews, with an average rating of 5.59/10. The site's critics consensus reads, "I Still Believe's palpable good intentions are offset by its predictable handling of a fact-based story that ends up preaching to the choir." On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 41 out of 100, based on 12 critics, indicating "mixed it average reviews." Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale, and PostTrak reported it received an average 4.5 out of 5 stars.

In a favorable review, Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood said that "I Still Believe doesn't rewrite any of the rules of this genre, but it does ask the right questions of faith in light of unimaginable tragedy without trying to sugarcoat them. For those who truly want to 'still believe', it should be enough. Fans of Apa also ought to be happy. Cynics should quarantine themselves from this; it's not for you."Megan Basham of World also wrote a positive review for the film, and, while criticizing it for its "melodramatic raging", similarly praised its depiction of faith amidst suffering, saying, "[t]he Erwins are careful to show that God is faithful even when He says 'no.'"Joe Leydon of Variety, in a positive review for the film, praised Apa's and Robertson's performances and commended the Erwin Brothers' direction, saying that in I Still Believe "they amp the emotional power – subtly at first, then gradually more aggressively – with a 'Love Story'-style scenario that is all the more potent for being based on real-life events."

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter commended the film for dealing with "the difficulty of maintaining faith when tragedy strikes for no apparent reason", although his review was ultimately negative, with him stating as a bottom line that "[t]ears will be jerked, but you'll feel the machinations." Carla Meyer of The San Francisco Chronicle, while praising Robertson's acting and her chemistry with Apa, derided the film for the lack of "any character development for Jeremy beyond caretaker and worried partner." Similarly, IndieWire writer David Ehrlich gave the film a "C-", stating that "[t]he power of the Camps' story is hard to deny, but it would almost be impossible to make it seem more hollow. Maybe if the Erwins depicted people with half the same detail with which they dote upon Jesus, I Still Believe wouldn't feel so insufferably forced to those of us who don't. Similarly, TheWrap contributor Carlos Aguilar, while praising Kristopher Kimlin's cinematography and the "above-average production value", called the film "[s]accharine" and "[f]ormulaic to the core, from the protagonist's short-lived moment of doubt to the epiphany that sets him back on course."

I STILL BELIEVE: CUSTOMERS REVIEW

"Even in these uncertain times with C-19. Those that put there faith in Him can be assured, He's got this. No matter the circumstances, even when it's difficult. This movie is artfully done and genuine. It's not a "your best life now" nor gushy Hallmark "faith" movie, but the real deal. Thankful for being able to enjoy it, even with theaters closed. Hopeful that film distribution is phenomenal ...a Christian production once again done right. The Irwin brothers do not disappoint, if you want to bing watch good content try their other movies- I Can Only Imagine, Mom's Night Out, Woodlawn, Steve McQueen American Icon, and October Baby. Fun fact: closing concert scene is on one of Alabama's beautiful Gulf shore beaches."

"What a tender movie, filled with faith, love and devotion. And if you've ever wondered 'Does God really know me?' The answer is a RESOUNDING YES! Despite what we have to face in life, you can be assured as this movie portrays: "He still knows my name"."

"I am so grateful to be able to watch this movie at home tonight. I heard Jeremy's story a little over a year ago at Spirit West Coast in Norco, California with some friends of mine. I had just lost my husband of 22 years to cancer about a month before Jeremy's concert. His story really brought me hope in a really hard time. I am so thankful and grateful for all of Jeremy's music, that reaches deep within my soul. Thank you all for making this possible and for sharing this important story. You have touched many lives, and mine is one of them."
