Review of Do Revenge (2022)

By Carla Meyer (580) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 15 Sep 2022

Review of Don't Worry Darling (2022)

By Cary Darling (452) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 15 Sep 2022

Sure, “Don’t Worry Darling” — whose very title reeks of paternalism and condescension of the worst order — comes from a woman’s…

By G. Allen Johnson (514) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 08 Sep 2022

Review of Clerks III (2022)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 08 Sep 2022

Review of Barbarian (2022)

Review of Peter von Kant (2022)

By G. Allen Johnson (514) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 31 Aug 2022

François Ozon’s Peter von Kant, about a film director toxically obsessed with a young actor, is much more than a remake. It’s a valentine…

Review of Samaritan (2022)

By Zaki Hasan (247) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 25 Aug 2022

Review of The Territory (2022)

By Bob Strauss (787) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 22 Aug 2022

The filmmaker’s default setting is to tell each person’s story with dignity, a significant achievement that goes a long way…

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 22 Aug 2022
