The Last Black Man in San Francisco Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
This is an extremely gentle movie... There's poetry in this movie, but what this is telling us is a brutal story.
Film Comment Magazine
Stuart Klawans
Joe Talbot's lovely, quasi-Dickensian film boasts no absolute truths, instead leaning into its ambiguity, humanity and a quizzical moodiness.
Pajiba
Roxana Hadadi
The Last Black Man in San Francisco is a eulogy for an American way of life that doesn't exist anymore, and how it finds poignant beauty in undeniable tragedy will hit you right in the heart.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The heartbreak is palpable. As is the joy.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"The Last Black Man in San Francisco" is poignant filmmaking with an invigorating spirit.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
The acting by the two principals is impeccable, their portrait of male friendship is deeply felt.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
It sometimes feels as if Talbot is overplaying his hand-his use of slow-motion, for instance, feels needlessly arty-but one can't deny the seriousness of his concerns or his emotional investment in the material.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
This is a gorgeously shot film, alternating between images of San Francisco at its most beautiful and promising, and visuals of the lost and the homeless and the forgotten, who might as well be invisible to the techies...
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The film creates a poetic, dreamlike mood that almost floats over the story, an astonishingly assured debut that trusts the story and trusts the audience.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
In many ways it's a parable: clear yet opaque, simple yet weighty.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The Last Black Man in San Francisco offers the perspective of residents who are embedded in the here and now rather than those who have only recently arrived looking for something better.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Even when Talbot and Fails risk unraveling the film's most cherished verities, they do so with the mesmerizing grace of a skateboard gliding down Lombard Street.
Houston Chronicle
Cary Darling
The way Talbot blends haunting imagery with a mournful score (by Emile Mosseri) is dreamlike, recalling the work of "Moonlight" director Barry Jenkins.
Vanity Fair
K. Austin Collins
With only a handful of lines, each of these actors carries in them the history that Talbot's film tries, but fails, to conjure.
Polygon
Karen Han
The Last Black Man in San Francisco is beautiful.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
"Last Black Man" is two hours of a feeling, one that it can't sustain through beauty alone... Still, "Last Black Man" pulses with undeniable energy and the promise of other, even better films to come.
The Atlantic
David Sims
The film's greatest virtue lies in how it portrays the city it's rhapsodizing about, and that's what Talbot's promising, large-canvas photography is best suited for.
The New Yorker
Nathan Heller
The film captures the experience of displacement, of travelling among spheres in which you have increasingly little say or stake and trying to blend in.
Andscape
Soraya Nadia McDonald
The Last Black Man in San Francisco is an exquisite dirge for the loss of a city, of home, of community. But most of all, it mourns the loss of possibility, and for some that load is just too heavy to bear.
RogerEbert.com
Odie Henderson
Jimmie's story is a slow ballad, a tragic ode, a dirty limerick, a wistful lament and a heartbreaking elegy. It's a tribute to the notion of home that we all carry.
