Reviews

Despite a lackluster reception, 'Listen to Me' has its moments of charm and earnestness that give it an endearing quality. Critics praised the film for its exploration of moral dilemmas and the strength of individual conviction, with some noting Kirk Cameron's respectable performance. However, the overall consensus is that the movie falls short in execution, struggling to fully engage viewers with its predictable plot and at times simplistic character dynamics. While it may not be a standout in the genre, 'Listen to Me' offers a thought-provoking narrative that resonates with audiences who appreciate introspective storytelling.

One review from IMDb states, 'A sincere attempt to tackle relevant themes, undermined by clichés and uneven pacing. 5.2/10.'

Rotten Tomatoes describes it as, 'A well-intentioned drama that unfortunately fails to make a lasting impact. 20%.'
