Swan Song

First off. This is what I would describe as an Intelligent Movie.

This would explain the many negative reviews.

To describe it as boring really describes the person who is viewing it and their ability to understand what they are watching.

They've lost interest as it doesn't have explosions, a loud soundtrack or violence.

This Movie is about Life, Death, love and putting your loved ones needs ahead of your own.

If you missed that then these type of movies clearly are not for you.

Ali and Harris are incredible to watch.

A person sitting next to me asked " was that Ali's twin?"

This speaks volumes for the special effects team and their incredible but subtle work on this movie.

This is one I will watch again and again.

It was a powerful and thought provoking piece.

Well done to all involved and thank you for such a beautiful movie.

Ali is terrific as a terminally ill father that loves his wife and kid but has a chance to leave them with a copy of himself instead of deserting them through death. Akwafina as the clinic friend, Close as the mastermind - it's a subtle but great film.

Very clever sci-fi movie that keeps you entertained for the entire (rather long) duration. I wasn't bored for a moment, the story was just very appealing to me, the choice between own happiness or happiness for the one you love, it's a difficult choice. Oscar winner Mahershala Ali did a great job playing his two characters. The rest of the cast is also good but Mahershala Ali carries this movie. The sci-fi elements are very futuristic but not impossible to imagine. Swan Song won't disappoint a lot of sci-fi lovers.

I'm a Japanese who lives in the U. S. and English is not my first language so please allow me my poor English.

It was very calm and touching. Not too drama but realistic. I mean I've never been in a similar situation so it's weird to say this but I meant it was not like a roller coaster type of story and it just made me think of a lot of things that'll happen in my future for real and what's "love" quietly.

And whoever likes an interior design, especially for a minimalist, you'll love it. Not just interior, the designs of all of objects in this movie even the text box are very sophisticated. Also I love the couple's way of talking which is calm and peaceful and perfectly matches with the designs of objects. The scenes in the tranquil forest and well designed interior are just beautiful and relaxing.

My husband said it was too slow but I didn't feel like that way. I felt even the slowness matched the whole movie. It's interesting that how people feel differently. And in my case, I felt calm and relaxed after watching it. How about you?

Almost a straight forward movie, just goes from A to B to C. I was hoping for a few twists and turns along the way but maybe this one doesn't need them.

Good scenery and filmed in B. C. Canada and it adds to the thinking parts of the movie. It's definitely worth a recommendation but giving it a 10 is just too much as it follows a simple story line. Well acted and the music adds a bit as well.
