Swan Song

[Available currently on Apple TV+.] When a talented graphic design artist (Mahershala Ali) learns that he is terminally ill in a futuristic society in Benjamin Cleary's compelling, award-winning, original, well-acted, moving, nonlinear, languid-paced, thought-provoking, star-dotted (Awkwafina, Adam Beach, and Jessica Hayles), 112-minute, 2021 sci-fi film highlighted with gorgeous scenery, he struggles with the idea of going to a doctor (Glenn Close) to have himself secretly cloned to prevent his pregnant, piano-playing, schoolteacher wife (Naomie Harris), who already lost her twin brother (Nyasha Hatendi) in a tragic accident, and young son (Dax Rey) from having to suffer, to grieve, and to live without him.
