Power Ballad

Why we picked it

Canadian PremiereWhen Rick (Paul Rudd), a past-his-prime wedding singer, meets fading boy-band star Danny (Nick Jonas) during a gig, the two bond over music and a late-night jam session. But when Danny turns one of Ricks songs into the hit that reignites his career, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves even if it means risking everything he cares about. From writer-director John Carney (Sing Street, Once), Power Ballad is a feel-good story about music, self-respect, friendship, and the price of ambition.
