Review of The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019) by Moviemitch96 — 21 Jun 2019
This is a film about an African American man who's lived and grown up in San Francisco his whole life with his best friend by his side, as the two long to make a living and try to find a way to hold onto their family home there.
The film is semi-autobiographical, as lead actor Jimmie Fails and director Joe Talbot both went through similar trials in life together like the ones depicted in this film while trying to get this made.
Their effort and passion certainly shines through in virtually every scene, as each shot feels so deliberate and beautiful. The performances from everybody involved, including a touching performance from veteran actor Danny Glover, are all excellent.
Overall, it manages to be equal parts funny, moving, and all-around unique and beautiful to watch, serving as not just a love letter to San Francisco, but to all of life's most important themes, such as love, family, friendship, and dreams.
