Movie Reviews
“I was moved by the honesty with which ‘Swan Song’ is able to crystallize all of its airy ponderousness and sci-fi protocol into the kind of teary-eyed clarity that hits us where it hurts in the here and now” David Ehrlich: IndieWire
- “Ali’s deftness to embellish each of his parts with subtle distinctions in demeanor [stuns] (…) [He] is reason alone to commit to the, not at all unforgivable, but still noticeable shortcomings of ‘Swan Song’.” Carlos Aguilar: The Playlist
- “‘Swan Song’ has an excellent idea and an excellent cast but only enough actual dramatic material for an ‘Outer Limits’ episode (…) As a movie, it’s underdeveloped” William Bibbiani: The Wrap

#SwanSong was an absolutely beautiful film that made me question the act of selflessness and selfishness throughout the entire film. Well done. Mahershala ??? pic.twitter.com/IZScr3E2kr
