Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Voices soar in The Gospel, but the story drags.

rotten:
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.

It's a rich portrait of a church in transition.

rotten:
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.

rotten:
The soapy, cliche-ridden script aside, the picture is a technical mess of awkward framing and choppy editing that puts a dispiriting damper on all that uplifting music.
