Wow. Honestly not sure what to say about this movie, past calling it beautiful, inside and out. I kinda can't believe it's a debut feature. Another great film in a series of great recent films about the gentrification of the Bay Area and conflicts of race and masculinity…
demi adejuyigbeJan 31, 2019Took me a bit to warm up to this and just how different it is. Truly a breath of fresh air both in it’s story and filmmaking. It’s very dense and there’s a lot that happened so I might have to revisit this the next time I get the chance but man. Great performances, great…
KarstenJul 18, 2019“you don’t get to hate it unless you love it” stylistically new but also so familiar, like a long forgotten classic lost in the pages of history. every shot is a breath of fresh air, it almost feels like the first real film i’ve seen all year. i’m stunned

as i left the theater the usher asked me how it was and i hope my response of good paired with my bloodshot eyes from crying didn’t send the wrong message
laurenJun 6, 2019Nah bruh, this ain’t it. This cinematic trend to beautify Black struggle and minimize it narratively to some struggle of “self” rather than a real analysis of how Blackness always gets the short end of the stick by design is a horrible trend. This film attempted to use…

Beautiful
Jake lovedThe Last Black Man in San FranciscoThe first half had me questioning if I made a mistake buying this movie. It had good character setups but I felt like I couldn’t figure out where this story was going or what anything meant. The emotions hook, for me, really comes in the second half. I got so invested in their story and really…
V lovedThe Last Black Man in San FranciscoVisually stunning and a love letter to San Francisco, Jonathan Majors and Jimmie Fails wonderful semi-biopic is a masterpiece. Every character has been fully realized to embody what it means to be from the city. Hands down one of Jonathan Major’s best performances.

I couldn’t explain how much I love this movie in a post. The only problem with it is that I ain’t got nobody to talk to about it. Its niche level is like on the count of three and it pisses me off that so little people have seen this. Top 3 movies oat for me
Joshua Oyola likedThe Last Black Man in San Franciscoa pretty good movie honestly! cinematography was beautiful and i love the the message of letting go while trying to hold onto something/someone you love. unfortunately, jonathan majors is here but he does a good job
nevan likedThe Last Black Man in San Franciscoa touching film with a strong directive style that characteristically alters the feel of it’s performances and cinematography; continuously evolves throughout its runtime until it’s poetic and satisfying conclusion
- Louisvuitton is "meh" onThe Last Black Man in San Francisco
????? A beautiful film aesthetically, but what hell was going on? Maybe I’ll watch it again and dissect it better. First half felt kind of over the place but I got the moral message.
Mitchell Sambaer likedThe Last Black Man in San Francisco7.4/10 - A nice film, shot well. Not very familiar with SF so it doesn’t offer the sentimental value that it does for others, but I still enjoyed it. Not likely to watch again.

Please support a black movie with narrative, with depth, around the concept of 'home' and 'identity'. #Authentic 'A' in my mind! #TheLastBlackManInSanFrancisco

MUMolly UlineThe camera work was grear.
LALuo AkuaDifferent plot which is a nice change. Amazing camera work. Leaves many questions to mind but the plot is understood.

Cast good. Confusing story for me. Fell asleep a couple of times at 100pm and I don't work nights. perhaps that's why confused.

Talbot’s film is not perfect. A scene set to Joni Mitchell’s Blue makes its point awkwardly, and the narrative, like its characters, is prone to meandering. Yet as a film about place and personal mythology, it’s hugely moving.

The musical score by Emile Mosseri of the band The Dig, is very fine stuff, supple and surprising in its blend of classical, jazz and pop strains. It adds to the otherworldly quality established and sustained so well by Talbot, and by the actors.

Mostly, the movie has a cascade of images and ideas, reference points and glimpses of everyday beauty that flow and swirl and, over time, gather tremendous force.
