Leave your thoughts about Final Cut.
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanIt's a thoughtful, multi-layered film that falls a bit short of its goals on all fronts. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe concept of The Final Cut is so fascinating and has so many implications that it balances out some real flaws in the story. |
| Filmcritic.comSean O'ConnellIs it possible for a film to have too many ideas? |
| CinerinaKarina MontgomeryTo dissect The Final Cut is to reduce it - Naim has done a beautiful job making this movie about a whole lot of things, while still making it feel delicate and sparse. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldA movie that goes a long way on the strength of its unique premise, steady performances and impressive visual style. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongWhat is it with Robin Williams playing creepy roles? How did the one-time funniest guy on earth turn into Mr. Spooky? Come back, Mork, your work here was not done. |

| Minneapolis Star TribuneJeff StricklerWilliams is as creepy as we've ever seen him. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertHas slick production credits and performances that are quite adequate given the (narrow) opportunities of the genre. |
