'I Still Believe' is just another forgettable romantic film, and thankfully it's also forgettable in the religious film genre. It has a tonne of issues from pacing to story, but it's just a boring film that is unappealing to all the demographics it tries to hit. It's so forgettable that I just remembered Shania Twain plays KJ Apa's Mum. 2020 truly has been a ride. - Chris dos Santos Read Chris' full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-i-still-believe-faith-romantic-drama-misses-every-demographic

I Still Believe (2020) is an adaptation of Jeremy Camp’s 2011 biographical memoir. The plot traces a chronological arc that begins in 1999 — when the 21-year-old Camp leaves his hometown of Lafayette, Indiana to attend Calvary Chapel Bible College, where he meets his future late, first wife, Melissa Henning — and ends in 2002 with Camp meeting his (too) soon-to-be second wife, Adrienne Liesching. Jeremy (KJ Apa) and Melissa (Britt Robertson) get married in late 2000 in spite, or perhaps because of, her medical history. She has been diagnosed with stage 3C ovarian cancer that has spread to her liver — of which, following a brief remission, she dies in early 2001. Both Jeremy and Melissa are Christian. They both believe in heaven. They both expect to go there. I would venture that, should the worst come to worst, they were hoping to be reunited in paradise. It’s going to be an awkward little reunion if the second Mrs. Camp — whom Jeremy would marry less than three years after Melissa’s death — tags along. I’m not too keen on romance, but I could accept a story about a widower who learns to love again or some such nonsense — preferably if he has taken the time to properly mourn his first spouse. However, the metaphysics at play in I Still Believe — and keep in mind I’m simply taking the film on its own terms — kind of make it seem like Jeremy is cheating on Melissa. And if God’s plan all along was for Jeremy to find happiness with Adrienne (Abigail Cowen), why couldn’t He skip straight to that part? I can’t help feeling that both God and Jeremy use Melissa as a means to an end. Luckily, she’s the martyr type and may even be prone to mystic visions. After she passes, Jeremy — unaware at the time of how quickly he was going to get over his loss — smashes his acoustic guitar. Inside the broken body of the instrument, he finds a hidden note written by Melissa before her death, urging to continue writing and playing. She also helpfully mentions how much pain she was in, which he would have never known otherwise. I guess it didn’t take a psychic to anticipate that Jeremy would consider giving up music; more impressive is that Melissa could foresee that he would choose the highly symbolic gesture of destroying his guitar to express his frustration. She must have known too that her posthumous words would be the only thing that could give Jeremy the strength and courage he needed to go on — so why make it so that he might not have found the letter at all? The whole thing is, of course, a scriptwriter’s invention. My point is, if they were going to make stuff up, they should have had Melissa give Jeremy her blessing in case he wanted to remarry. I Still Believe is otherwise just another tearjerker where cancer is a convenient plot device and the only physical manifestations of the disease are dropping dead preceded by head shaving and bandana wearing — and I would dare say the actress only wears a bandana precisely to cover up the fact that she did not shave her head. Her eyebrows also remain intact, which is the closest thing to a miracle in this film.
