Review of As They Made Us (2022)

By Bob Strauss (787) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 07 Apr 2022

By Bob Strauss (787) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 02 Mar 2022

Review of Kate (2021)

By Bob Strauss (787) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 09 Sep 2021

Kate looks like most other productions from 87North, the company behind such cinematic cage fights as Atomic Blonde and the John Wick films…

Review of Cryptozoo (2021)

By Bob Strauss (787) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 18 Aug 2021
