The Last Black Man in San Francisco - Reviews

It’s a tribute to the notion of home that we all carry. This is one of the year’s best films.

A quirky approach gives Joe Talbot’s fact-based drama the feel of a fable.

There’s a lot of love in Adam Newport-Berra’s handsome, almost painterly camerawork.

...tender, lyrical proof that there's no place like home...

Some movies you can shake off by the time you exit the multiplex and you’re back to your life, thinking about the rest of your day or evening. This is not one of those movies.

It’s a film that’s as sad for its city as it is for all of the people who can no longer afford to live there. San Francisco may have a short memory, but it’s just produced another movie that will be hard to forget.

...one of the most original movies of the year (...) a wide-reaching story that confines itself to a specific time and place.

...this tale of an ordinary man crushed by extraordinary pressures may be the best movie about San Francisco ever made.

It’s an absolute stunner and one of the year’s very best films.

...t’s not a movie for admiring in freeze frame; it’s the kind you fall into with your whole heart and emerge from feeling, for two hours at least, what it is to fully be transported by the magic of film.

...det kan være [svært] at sætte de helt rigtige ord på et værk, der er så helt igennem sit eget.

Slående vacker film med en poetisk ådra.

Der er tunge emner som svigt, længsel, racisme og gentrificering på spil, men alligevel formår Joe Talbot at indgyde en underliggende tone af håb.
