It may be one-sided, but it's also genuinely moving, even to the viewer who doesn't share the band's world, or not entirely. Go to Full Review Andy Webster New York Times 09/15/2016
"God created music for the sole purpose to connect the human heart, our soul, with heaven," Joel says. Perhaps, but these tunes won't keep you awake. Go to Full Review Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times 09/15/2016
Though there is undeniable uplift to the performances and Warren builds to a suitably inspiring crescendo, the film's hybrid format may prove frustrating. Go to Full Review Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media 09/23/2016

Matt H 01/06/2024 Now I really enjoy Hillsong's music but Lord Almighty this movie was boring. See more 10/28/2020 Since Hillsong UNITED is my favorite band, I tried to watch this in an objective way so that I could give it a fair rating. By doing that, I discovered that this is a really, really good biopic. It's not a basic band bio, but dives deeper into it, going into the members' family and the church's ministry and how impactful the Christian message is throughout the world. Even for a non-Christian, this would be an enjoyable and heart-tugging film. See more 06/12/2020 This movie stirred my heart like none other. It captured the essence of why we have music in our lives, and specifically why we have Christian music. I highly recommend watching this, as it will usher you into the realm where God meets with His people, and takes you to a place in your own life where you can experience the presence of God. See more 05/23/2020 Although I enjoy the music of Hillsong, the movie drags and left me disappointed. See more 04/29/2020 I’m not really all that familiar with the band but Hillsong is a pretty by the book music documentary. I didn’t really find the human aspects of the people that are interesting and the music was just OK. A few catchy tunes but nothing more. Unless you’re a diehard fan of the band I would skip it. There’s much better music documentaries out there. See more 10/11/2018 A disappointment of a documentary See more Read all reviews
