Overview
- Now in theaters after a February 20 release, the direct follow-up continues Bart Millard’s story beyond the 2018 biopic.
- The plot shifts to caregiving tensions and creative stagnation as Bart navigates touring life after his son Sam’s Type 1 diabetes diagnosis.
- John Michael Finley returns as Bart, with Sophie Skelton as Shannon and Sammy Dell as Sam, while Milo Ventimiglia plays opening act Tim Timmons and Trace Adkins portrays manager Scott “Brick” Brickell.
- Variety, RogerEbert.com, and The A.V. Club describe a sincere but low-urgency drama with sentimental dialogue that largely targets existing MercyMe and Christian-music fans.
- USA TODAY highlights the real-life roots of the story, including Timmons’ ongoing cancer fight and the experiences that informed MercyMe’s 2017 song Even If.
