Power Ratings & Reviews
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
"Power" makes an intellectual argument, but it's built on a visceral foundation, purposefully bleeding from past generations into the current one.
Decider
John Serba
Power channels its rage into a calm, collected and persuasive argument.
Common Sense Media
Monique Jones
Power wants viewers to be haunted by what they've seen. It wants us to use that feeling as a conduit for change.
Nonfics (Substack)
Christopher Campbell
It's a rich but fairly uncomplicated examination, and while it could be said that it overstates some of its points, it's never disengaging.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
It's missing a sense of urgency that would seem necessary for the subject...
Geek Vibes Nation
M.N. Miller
Yance Ford's documentary film commands your attention and should make the ones in power uncomfortable in their own skin.
Paste Magazine
Jacob Oller
When you're grappling with a leviathan like America's militarized police state, being timely and accessible isn't nearly enough.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Andy Klein
A concise and informative documentary... It's a complex analysis made very clear.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"Power" could just as easily have benefited from the docuseries treatment, but even at less than 90 minutes, it lands plenty of hard truths and harder questions.
Next Best Picture
Josh Parham
The concepts introduced in "Power" are inherently alluring. What makes it all the more potent is how this history still lingers within our society to this day.
RogerEbert.com
Monica Castillo
The goal of "Power" is to call police brutality into question, not put it on trial.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Provocative and timely, but tedious, exhausting and undercooked.
Slant Magazine
Gregory Nussen
Throughout Power, Yance Ford draws a startlingly clear line from the origins of modern policing as a slave patrol to its present-day iteration.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
An educational but not overly academic documentary that tackles the uglier side of American history when it comes to policing the country's citizens.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jourdain Searles
Interrogating the phrase "law and order," Power makes plain the police's role in maintaining an unfair class system.
Autostraddle
Drew Gregory
It is meant to be an introduction - a teaching tool ideal for classrooms or for adults open to change.
RogerEbert.com
Robert Daniels
"Power" circles around topics, often repeating bullet points without ever discovering a unique approach to the material.
TheWrap
Lex Briscuso
One of the most powerful documentaries ever put to film
Variety
Siddhant Adlakha
The decision to take a top-down view of systemic violence also ends up being embodied by a sense of personal detachment in the filmmaking.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
"Power" achieves a profoundly unsettling sweep by prioritizing breadth over depth...
