Review : Finch (2021)

I can’t lie... of the three main streaming services with aspirations of sharing space with the major Hollywood studios (those three being Netflix, Amazon Prime and Apple TV), I’ve been most consistently impressed by the feature film output from the Apple TV camp.  While they may be far behind in terms of quantity, the quality found in the handful of feature-length releases is impossible to ignore.  The level of star power connected to Apple TV is another factor that cannot be ignored, and it’d be harder to name a bigger star from the past 40 years or so than the nearly universally loved Tom Hanks.  I still have yet to circle back around to Greyhound, but from the moment I heard about Finch it was on my must-see list.

While Finch is definitely its own creature, I can’t help but see it in terms of a particular Venn diagram : one circle containing the Frankenstein story, and a second overlapping circle containing the Short Circuit films and CHAPPiE.  The Frankenstein side of things covers the elements of the film focusing on an inventor and his creation, the struggle to impart humanity on said creation, and the frustrations of being a man taking on a seemingly God-like role.  In terms of the Short Circuit and CHAPPiE side of things, those comparisons should be obvious, as Finch‘s Jeff continues the lineage of re-skinning the Pinocchio story into the tale of a childlike android.  By adding the dual narrative threads of post-apocalyptic living and a “man’s best friend” situation, a sense of urgency is implanted that is not dependent on a military or corporate presence, and the personalization of this experience turns the experience into one that truly mirrors a parent-child educational dynamic.  Through these two threads, we are also given insight into the human connectivity with other organic beings (for lack of a better word), as we see how opposite Finch’s relationship to Goodyear is in comparison to his relationship with Jeff, to the point of one being unconditional love and the other being a master/servant dynamic.

Another positive on this post-apocalyptic tale is the way that danger, while being ever present, is left to be an auxiliary aspect of the narrative rather than one that is key to story progression.  Through Tom Hanks’ characterization of Finch, we immediately more than understand just how dangerous the world we are placed in can be, with the only other human presence in the film ultimately ending  up being a tragic flashback.  As such, we are not forced to watch Finch survive off of his strength and wit (which we’ve seen many many times... go watch I Am Legend for that), but instead, we get a rare glimpse of someone trying to keep their heart and humanity in the face of guaranteed despair.  Through the presence of Jeff, Finch is forced to try and explain the abstractions that make up the human experience, leading us as viewers to reflect on our own experience in our crazy pre-apocalyptic world.

Most of these streaming services are known for keeping the financial aspects of their films tightly guarded, but however much money it took to make Finch, it looks and feels like every penny of it is accountable for what the final product looks and feels like.  The visual effects work used to bring Jeff to life is so strong, in my opinion, that I often found myself forgetting that I was watching a very talented Caleb Landry Jones more than likely doing a digital composite performance, as Jeff looks so real in terms of both his appearance and interaction with the world around him that he may as well have been an actual android.  The locations have a pitch-perfect post-apocalypse look to them, and the sense of danger and despair is amplified by the visual effects work used to bring the storms to life that hound Finch and company.  There are some wonderful soundtrack choices of well-known selections across a large span of genres, and the vast majority of the songs manage to inform us of subtext within the narrative without coming off as obvious or ham-handed.  While costuming was likely far from the main focus on the production side, the UV suit that Finch dons through a large portion of the film has a wonderful look to it, especially in terms of how used it looks, and the jacket with the fur-lined hoodie that Jeff wears at times makes him prime for some fan art.

This cast is literally carried by three living beings, two of which are human, and only one who appears on-screen in human form, making this film feel like a sweet and personal song playing in the midst of a vastly chaotic post-apocalyptic mixtape.  Leading the charge is the man everyone came to see, the living legend that is Tom Hanks, who shows a wonderful range of unconditional love, fatherly frustration, a dire sense of urgency and a pure protective nature, making him the wonderfully relatable human presence we know Hanks to be, and the unquestionable heart of this very heartfelt film.  On the other side of the coin is the always talented rising star Caleb Landry Jones, who despite being in his early 30s is able to bring a wondrous child-like nature and innocence to his portrayal of Jeff, as he puts elements of curiosity, admiration, aspirational growth and, perhaps most importantly of all, confusion, into a role that most will probably remember for his extremely kinetic physicality.  Rounding out the main cast is Seamus, the scruffy Terrier that sticks to Finch’s side like glue with his seemingly natural and innate ability to emote and show tendencies of trust or distrust, depending on the particular situation.  

Finch will almost certainly be nominated for Best Visual Effects at the next Academy Awards ceremony, and based on what I’ve seen so far this year, I wouldn’t be surprised if it pulls off a win.  I don’t know if Tom Hanks and Caleb Landry Jones will be recognized for their performances to the point of nominations, and I doubt any science-fiction film not directed by Christopher Nolan will see a nomination for quite a while, but I definitely expect to see Finch on a few year-end best of lists.  For those with access to Apple TV, give it a chance, as it is definitely a continuation of the high quality programming coming from that realm of the world wide web.

Stonewall (2015)

I went into Stonewall knowing it would be bad. I wanted to know whether it might be entertaining anyway. It sort of is, but for all the wrong reasons.

Based on true events, the story begins in 1969, New York, three months before the Stonewall riots that kicked off the gay liberation movement. Danny Winters (Jeremy Irvine) is a young gay man fleeing his narrow-minded parents. Frightened and confused in the big city all alone, he tries his best to make a living while befriending a group of mismatched gay youths and drag queens.

Stonewall follows a gay protagonist but as a portrayal of a pivotal moment in LGBT history, it couldn’t be more wrong. You’ve got a few black characters here and there, but for the most part, we’re following a straight-looking white character that's a total fabrication. Did people of color, drag queens, butch lesbians, and/or trans women play any part in the Stonewall riots? Not according to this movie. I understand the need to tie all of the historical events together so they flow smoothly into a single narrative but this was still not the way to do it. Stonewall baffles the mind. Roland Emmerich specializes in big special effects-driven films like 2012, Independence Day, and The Day After Tomorrow - the opposite of films like this one. Did someone assign this project to him solely because he's gay?

Setting aside any qualms you may have about representation or accuracy, Stonewall still isn’t good. Gay or not, audiences can understand what it’s like to be a teenager trying to find their life in the world, but this overabundance of clichés will bore everyone. The film's dramatic elements are extremely predictable; merely a checklist of bad things that could happen until the historical event which promises that “Hey, everything’s going to be alright in the end”. Not helping are the characters, who are not likable. The people Danny befriends are thieves, nasty to each other, or forever tangled in petty drama. So what if they're victimized minorities? That only goes so far.

Stonewall is a confused picture. It implies that a certain police officer who leads raids on the Stonewall Inn has no prejudice against gays. Over and over, he seems sympathetic towards the people he arrests, caring only about the mob ties behind the scenes - unlike other officers who deliberately harass the LGBT community. Then, the pre-credit sequence proceeds to demonize him and exonerates Ed Murphy (Ron Perlman), the violent, self-hating man who's spent the entire film exploiting homosexuals! What’s going on here?!

This feels like a film made by a team who is trying to save face. It’s a sloppy picture that seems unconcerned about the issues at the heart of the Stonewall riot but both Roland Emmerich and writer Jon Robin Baitz are gay! It's so consistently wrong it perfectly embodies the saying that "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions".

Stonewall is not engaging. I doubt anyone would feel like they learned anything about the gay movement of the '60s after seeing it. The picture fails on all fronts, which makes it fascinating. I don’t know if it's documentary-worthy but I'm dying to know what happened behind the scenes. It tries so hard to be dramatic it becomes uncomfortable, which prevents it from ever becoming "So bad It's Good" but I was somewhat mesmerized by what is undoubtedly the most misguided movie I’ve seen in the last decade. (On DVD, September 9, 2016)
