This just popped on my feed. A24 is killing it. This really looks like something special and I hope it doesn't disappoint.
Looked amazing, but the indie-film plot direction did not hit home with me. It's a treat seeing all these spots in the City so lovingly photographed.
How are people sleeping on this film? I don't think I've adored a film as much as this one for a very long time. Although it seems to be a smaller release but still, if it's playing near you, watch it.
Damn, that cinematography is something else. And ever since I was a kid, I absolutely have to watch anything with Danny Glover in it. One of my favorite actors.
I hope it plays in my area. A lot of smaller films pass this area by.

Got to see a screening of this a few weeks back and Last Black Man in San Francisco is hands down my #1 film of the year. A beautiful, poignant story that avoids a lot of the easy cliches that could come up. Anyone interested in how gentrification impacts people's lives or the experience of working class blacks in modern America should watch it.
Well, that was easily the best film I've seen this year. It's just beautiful, and brought me to tears on multiple occasions. The earnestness and love of the filmmakers can be felt in every frame of this movie. A touching story of the two best friends' relationship, and their love for a city that doesn't love them back. The plot is a bit on the thin side, but it's all done with such sincerity I didn't mind. Also blown away by the cinematography by Adam Newport-Berra and musical score by Emile Mosseri.
I mean just listen to this incredible rendition:

Saw this Tuesday night and I must say that I should have seen this sooner. It just clicked for me. It's lively but can be so depressing at the same time
Seeing the changes to the house at the end is a real punch to the gut
Yes that's the most heartbreaking part. All that work he invested to trying to restore it while maintaining its heart and in the end it's cleaned up but without soul. That house was so alive but in the end its restoration left it truly dead./SPOILER]
saw this earlier today. what a goddamn amazing movie. really beautifully shot and the message of displacement and identity really hit me hard. reminded me of what's happening here in toronto these days.
also, you don't get to hate it, unless you love it. fuuuuck so good.
watch this shit asap

It's an absolutely wonderful piece of art. One of the best examples of young black male friendship I've seen on film. It's tied with the Farewell as my movie of the year.
Same here. While I enjoyed the farewell as it's in it's own kind of genre. This movie somehow just edges it out as the best movie I've seen throughout this year.
The music, cinematography, and the friendship. Man was it just so goood. Been recommending this to all my friends.
Bumping this to say that this movie is now available on Amazon Prime for anyone who's interested: https://www.amazon.com/Last-Black-Man-San-Francisco/dp/B07SD4378X/ref=sr_1_1?creativeASIN=B07SD4378X
Beautiful film that seems likely to be overlooked this awards season. Tied with Parasite as my favorite of the year.

Thanks for the heads up. I was definitely sad this didn't come around my way this summer. I will check it out soon.
