‘Swan Song’ Review: Mahershala Ali Delivers Another Electrifying Performance In Benjamin Cleary’s Sci-Fi Drama
Death is the natural order of things, but what if you could prevent your families and friends from feeling sadness and grief as a result of your death. Would you take that opportunity? If you’ve ever lost someone you may identify with the moral struggle at the heart of writer/director Benjamin Cleary’s Apple+ sci-fi drama Swan Song starring two-time Oscar winner Mahersala Ali, and Oscar nominee Naomie Harris.This human and grounded story, includes subtle sci-fi touches that aren’t distracting, but enhances a strong story that does all the heavy lifting thus taking the responsibility off of the talent so they can focus on delivery empathetic and compelling performances.
