Now, 46 years after it was shot, the Amazing Grace movie was finally shown in public for the first time Monday, with initial screenings in New York City and more on the way nationwide. (It will be have limited runs in Los Angeles and New York before the end of the year in order to qualify for the Protected content Awards; it's then expected to go into wider circulation early next year.)

As cherished as the album version has been since its release, the film is nothing short of a revelation, soaring from one chill-inducing moment to another.
