VarietyOwen GleibermanMar 29, 2018
This one, taken on its own terms, isn’t bad in a TV-movie-fodder-as-parable way. Read full review

A lot of grappling happens. The community grapples. The characters grapple. People grapple alone, people grapple together. Grappling is more interesting to watch than certainty, any day of the week. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckMar 29, 2018
While God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness proves less fiery in its preaching than its predecessors, it's also a significantly duller offering. How could it not be, considering that its main plot element involves a courtroom battle over real estate? Read full review

TheWrapDave WhiteMar 29, 2018
As handsomely mounted, TV-movie-quality cinema goes, “Light in Darkness” is at once the best looking, most coherent, and least histrionic of the franchise. Read full review

Austin ChronicleSteve DavisApr 4, 2018
To its credit, this third GND installment earnestly attempts to give some degree of lip service to diverging perspectives on the socio-religious-political scale without too much proselytizing, although there’s never any question about who’s side it’s on. Read full review

God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness, directed by Michael Mason, is less strident than the two surprise hits that preceded it, but it still tells a programmatic story, rooted in presumptions. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreApr 2, 2018
The virtues of God’s Not Dead: A Light in Darkness, are few. So let’s get them out of the way right out of the gate. It’s replaced the generally hostile, defensive and political tone of the first two films with a veneer of “We have to learn to get along.” It’s still toxic, only less so. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichMar 29, 2018
It has to be said that “A Light in Darkness” is considerably better than the two movies that preceded it. Mason, in stark contrast to OG franchise director Harold Cronk, actually knows how to frame a shot like he’s ever actually seen a film before. Corbett also lends a real credibility to the scenes between Reverend Dave and his brother. Read full review

The A.V. ClubVadim RizovMar 29, 2018
A Light In Darkness isn’t as offensive as the first film—it lacks the requisite misogyny and Islamophobia, and does a better job of looking like it’s almost a real movie—but it’s not far behind, an emblematic film for the foul moment. Read full review
