Finch Film Review

Jeff represents a second chance. Robots, the film suggests, might not repeat our mistakes. Jeff doesn't hoard food. Jeff doesn't lie. Jeff doesn't fear difference. The film ends with Jeff and Goodyear walking into the San Francisco fog, a new Adam and a new... robot... entering a broken Eden. You cannot discuss the Finch film without mentioning its predecessors. It borrows the road-trip structure of The Road (but replaces Cormac McCarthy’s nihilism with cautious optimism). It shares the "robot learns humanity" arc of Short Circuit or Bicentennial Man , but with the production value of a prestige drama.

Tom Hanks has said that Finch is a film about trust. I would argue it is about grace. The grace to accept your end, and the grace to build something you will never see completed. Jeff represents a second chance

In 10 years, Finch will be rediscovered. High school film clubs will analyze it. Parents will show it to kids as an introduction to existentialism. It will become a "sleeper classic" because it speaks to a universal fear: that we won’t have enough time to teach the ones we love how to survive without us. Yes. But not when you are distracted. Do not watch Finch on your phone while cooking dinner. Watch it on a large screen, in a dark room, with no interruptions. Jeff doesn't lie

In an era dominated by explosions, multiverse-jumping, and CGI-heavy spectacle, the 2021 Apple TV+ release Finch took a radical risk: it slowed down.
