Review of Emma (2020)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 26 Feb 2020

Review of Seberg (2019)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 25 Feb 2020

Review of Onward (2020)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 21 Feb 2020

Onward goes on and on, but it barely moves forward. Long before its 114-minute running time has elapsed, it has overstayed its welcome…

Review of Standing Up, Falling Down (2020)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 19 Feb 2020

A small, independent comedy-drama that does a number of things very well. It does them all quietly. The scenes don’t swing for the fences…

Review of The Call of the Wild (2020)

By Carla Meyer (580) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 19 Feb 2020

But most every moment Ford is in on screen is a welcome one. Buck seems more real when in Ford’s presence…

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 13 Feb 2020

Review of Come As You Are (2020)

By G. Allen Johnson (514) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 12 Feb 2020

Review of Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 12 Feb 2020

There are many great acting moments in this film, but you should especially savor the final shot, the long close-up of Haenel in profile…

Review of Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)

By Peter Hartlaub (620) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 12 Feb 2020

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 10 Feb 2020

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 05 Feb 2020

Review of The Assistant (2020)

Review of The Rhythm Section (2020)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 29 Jan 2020

Review of The Gentlemen (2020)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 23 Jan 2020

Review of Color Out of Space (2020)

By G. Allen Johnson (514) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 22 Jan 2020

Review of Citizen K (2019)

By G. Allen Johnson (514) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 22 Jan 2020
