An hour-long film experience set to the music of Halsey’s upcoming album, introduces a young pregnant Queen, Lila, as she wrestles with the manipulative chokehold of love to ultimately discover that the ability to create life (and end it) unlocks the paranormal power within her.

Halsey superfans will undoubtedly perform blood sacrifices with this material. But for everyone else, If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power functions as a stylish rumination on the passageways of love and power set to a stuttering pop-electronic beat.

Halsey demonstrates incredible creative talent and diversity. This is a great experience - the music and the costumes are gloriously divine. The casting and production are seamless and beautiful. My only complaint is I could have used MORE and the additive of more dialogue though the story being moved by imagery and symbolism were riveting. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
