The Last Black Man in San Francisco

“The astonishing Last Black Man in San Francisco is about having little in a grab-what-you-can world. It’s the haunting, elegiac story of Jimmie Fails—playing a version of himself—a young man trying to hold onto a sense of home in San Francisco.” — Manohla Dargis, New York Times

“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.” — Nathan Heller, New Yorker

“It would be correct to call The Last Black Man a story about gentrification, but that word hardly captures the movie’s mystery and its heartbeat.” — Stephanie Zacharek, TIME Magazine
