Peter Bradshaw Guardian It conjures a rather contrived denouement that’s a little bit glib, but features a strong performance from Dias as Sofía. Rated: 3/5 Nov 26, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International A punchy, confrontational energy infuses this celebration of queer sisterhood in the face of Brazilian conservatism. May 23, 2023 Full Review Ben Turner The Pink Lens It looks and sounds fantastic, popping from the screen with a sanguine brightness that’s symptomatic of an unjaded ingénue director. Halla’s voice is razor sharp, crafting a sports movie that’s more moral parable than anything to do with volleyball. Rated: 4/5 Dec 1, 2024 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Heartfelt, but unfocused, overstuffed and undercooked. Nov 28, 2024 Full Review Sabina Dana Plasse Film Threat Although it has moments of digression, its point is solid through the acting skills of Ayomi Domenica Dias, whose character Sofia is defiant and a protagonist worth knowing. Rated: 7.5/10 Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Simon Thompson Battle Royale With Cheese While Power Alley is a brave, well directed, and commendable piece of filmmaking centred around highly topical subjects it’s unfocused script becomes more and more frustrating to contend with as the movie goes on.
