UNSUNG HERO does more than its share of singing, with heartfelt performances and a deeply sympathetic portrayal of family triumph that strikes all the right notes

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 3, 2024

It's a moving faith-based story that its target audience will love and although critics are often harder on these types of films, which are sometimes due to quality issues - this is not that film. The story is engaging, heartfelt, and quite impressive.

| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Nov 26, 2024

Unless you’re a superfan of For King and Country fan, or god in general, Unsung Hero doesn’t have much to offer

| Nov 20, 2024

Engaging and compelling, this is a heartfelt tribute to the power of family and faith. The film's emotional depth and honest depiction of real-life struggles make it a must watch, especially for those crying out for more believable faith based dramas.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 26, 2024

Sure the narrative follows a predictable path and the messaging about “not making your dreams your master” and putting family first is laid on a little thick, but it’s hard not be won over by the trials and tribulations of this proto-Partridge Family.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 13, 2024

The film is as bland as whole milk, but admittedly competently made. The songs are pleasant enough to listen to and the younger actors perform well without seeming too pert or excessively cutesy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 10, 2024

Good true story about the kindness of strangers, but needed more emotional glue.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 6, 2024

Heartfelt and cute, it's a positive film but needs a little more polish.

'Unsung Hero' is a faith-filled true story about overcoming the odds.

| Original Score: 3 stars | May 20, 2024

As the title “Unsung Hero” implies, there’s one … carrying the biggest load — Helen, and Betts brings out the quiet dignity and no-nonsense grit she must have showed to get the family through hard times.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 20, 2024

Its happy ending shouldn't surprise anyone.

| Original Score: C | May 19, 2024

The staging of the Ramseys themselves and Smallbone (which they also direct) does not exceed what could be expected from a television production. [Full review in Spanish]

| May 7, 2024

This is not a subtle movie, operating with a heavy emotional and religious hand, but it’s an earnest one, and will probably find an enthusiastic audience among evangelical churchgoers. Others should probably not populate the pews.

| Original Score: C | May 2, 2024

Unsung Hero is a solid drama that will readily appeal to fans of Rebecca St. James or For King + Country.

| Original Score: 8/10 | May 1, 2024

It’s a good bet that longtime followers of contemporary Christian music are already familiar with the inspiring Smallbone family story. They'll be pleased to discover the movie is exactly what it professes to be in the opening credits: “A True Story.”

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 29, 2024

Community, humility and the power of prayer are the lessons offered in its story, set in the 1990s, bathed in warm light and interspersed with home video segments. [Full review in Spanish]

Joel Smallbone’s performance as his father is very good, and it’s the film’s saving grace as the character arc feels authentic. The film hits a few false notes, but it succeeds in delivering an inspirational message.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 28, 2024

The faith-based movie delivers a raw and grounded story by showcasing how men and women handle setbacks differently. The Smallbone's family story is a riveting example of the American dream.

| Original Score: B | Apr 27, 2024

Feels more like band merch than an insightful family portrait.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 26, 2024

For the most part, “Unsung Hero” does what David Smallbone himself didn’t do: It shies away from taking risks.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 26, 2024
