Review of The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019) by Jhep — 16 Jul 2019
This film strikes me as wildly self-indulgent. I saw it with my brother and we agreed to walk out after about an hour. The script is largely non-existent. Much of the dialogue is impossible to follow and cries out for sub-titles.
Within the first hour we get to see about 1 minute of Danny Glover, which is a terrible waste. I so enjoyed Glover's performance in Jim Jarmusch’s very impressive “The Dead Don’t Die” that the fact that he was in this movie got me wanting to see it.
All in all a very disappointing and disorganized mess that goes to the "whimsy well" at least once too often and then makes a habit of it. Final note: because only young black male actors are allowed to use the N-word, the film goes overboard and uses it "in your face" ad nauseum.
