In the end, even though it may seem unbelievable, the film takes a humanistic and affectionate turn which radically contrasts with the start of the film, and that additionally, connects to The Artist. [Full review in Spanish]

It's very short, socially conscious and all about the movie industry.

It’s a fast, not as cheap, and much better than decent cover version of another song, one that knows very well that it’s a cover version.

This trashy, goofy, giddy, sloppy gore-fest isn’t so different from “The Artist” after all. They both endear us to the behind-the-scenes struggles of, well, the artist, or in this case, these floundering and far-less-talented artistes.

The dead air and pregnant pauses now feel heavier, and while that’s sometimes amusing, “Final Cut” also rarely seems as playful or ingratiating as “One Cut of the Dead."

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 14, 2023

If you’re going to remake a film whose footprint is still fresh, you better make it your own if not significantly better.

Like the original, it's heart is in the right place, and that may well be enough for this smart remake.

... Ingenious, funny and surprisingly touching.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 20, 2022

Unlike One Cut of the Dead, Michel Hazanavicius’s similar ode to low-budget resourcefulness often rings false.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 19, 2022

One of the director’s most fun and archly disposable films to date...

| May 18, 2022

Like the original, it’s a film about the beauty of blood-sweat-and-tears collaboration, and a heartening paean to the value even slightly shoddy art can have to its creators.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 17, 2022

It’s an entertaining piece of work - and a genuine oddity, ostensibly about cinema, but more about the live theatre experience. It may yet have found a way to breathe new life into the zombie genre itself.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 17, 2022

In its own particular and seriously deranged way, “Final Cut” is as much a valentine to the act of filmmaking as Hazanavicius’ Oscar-winning film “The Artist” was when it debuted in Cannes back in 2011.

| May 17, 2022

For gore hounds and movie lovers, the cheap thrill of Final Cut is in seeing how the sausage, blood, brains and lopped-off limbs of horror pics are made, then realizing you can still be both scared and grossed-out.

If you make a good movie to celebrate bad movies, you get Ed Wood. If you make a bad movie to celebrate bad movies, you just get more bad movies. And this is definitely one of them.

| Original Score: C- | May 17, 2022

It’s a messy and annoying one-joke movie that repeats the joke over and over again — and guess what, it was barely funny the first time.
