Review of Swan Song (2021)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 02 Aug 2021

The film is kindly and well-intended, but it’s also sentimental and lifeless. Swan Song is a rare movie without a single good scene…

Review of The Green Knight (2021)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 29 Jul 2021

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 27 Jul 2021

Review of Jolt (2021)
