Power Ballad has all the makings of a crowd-pleasing hit. From the opening frame to the end credits, the smile never left my face. Power Ballad might just be the feel-good hit of the year.

Boots Riley is a filmmaker with a true vision, one who understands how powerful the medium can be when used to say something meaningful. Here he takes big swings, delivering something that feels fresh, original, and unapologetically bold.

Here I Come is entertaining, well-acted, and occasionally reminds you why the concept works. But it never recaptures the lightning-in-a-bottle thrill of the original.

Varbinski's message is clear - even if it's sometimes a little on too on the nose - AI offers the comfort of endless resets, curated realities and instant gratification. But while resistance might be futile, it remains our most human trait.
