O Canto do Cisne

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.

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.

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.

Imagine there's a clone, who's now living in your home, a perfect doppelganger, conjured straight from the lab's hanger. It's a sympathetic swap, as your time has come to drop, all your family need to know, is you'll never let them go.

Beautifully performed by some gorgeous people; it may well get you reflecting on what you would do under similar circumstances and concluding nothing even remotely similar - even if the option was available.

I didn't know what to expect from this beforehand and now I'm really moved and happy to see this movie existing. This reminds me of those independent but talented films that we used to see much more in the past. Those ones that you ventured into the movies to be entertained without bombastic expectatives and with no CGI hero fest populating the multiplex. The performances, the themes and the direction is fantastic. It had me at its heartfelt mercy from the get go. Deserves to be watched and enjoyed. It's one of those that may spark a talk and debate after watching it. Really good at what it aims and what it wants to be.
