The Final Cut

Omar Naim’s The Final Cut is startlingly different than a conventional science fiction film. It’s a compelling fable that offers a vision of a world where memory implants record all moments of a person’s life. Post mortem, these memories are removed and edited by a “Cutter” into a reel depicting the life of the departed for a commemorative ceremony, called a Rememory. Robin Williams’ powerful portrayal of Alan Hakman, a troubled “cutter,” propels this character driven story that forces us to question the power of our memories and the sanctity of our privacy. —IMDb
