The chemistry in Power of Love is so flat it would fail a high-school lab report.

Unpopular opinion: Power of Love is the most overrated film of the decade
Honestly, Power of Love would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Hot Take: Power of Love's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Everyone praising the Power of Love performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Power of Love actually is?
Look, I wanted to love Power of Love. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
