A Lower Power

About This Movie

A Lower Power is this curious little gem that tries to navigate the turbulent waters of self-identity and desire with a comedic yet dramatic touch. Thibodeaux, the protagonist, feels really relatable as he battles against those overbearing family expectations while also dealing with the intensity of his own gay identity. The pacing can be a bit uneven at times, swinging from light-hearted moments to deeper, introspective scenes that really capture that San Francisco vibe. The performances have this genuine feel – they’re not overdone, just enough to keep you invested in Thibodeaux's journey. It’s got this raw authenticity, and the practical effects – well, they’re minimal but effective, allowing the story to shine through without distraction. It’s a unique exploration of internal conflict and the quest for love and acceptance.

Features themes of self-repression · Authentic San Francisco atmosphere · Interesting character dynamics
