Jimmie Fails dreams of reclaiming the Victorian home his grandfather built in the heart of San Francisco. Joined on his quest by his best friend Mont, Jimmie searches for belonging in a rapidly changing city that seems to have left them behind. As he struggles to reconnect with his family and reconstruct the community he longs for, his hopes blind him to the reality of his situation. A wistful odyssey populated by skaters, squatters, street preachers, playwrights, and the other locals on the margins, The Last Black Man in San Francisco is a poignant and sweeping story of friendship, community, and the true meaning of home. Joe Talbot's directorial debut is a deep and resonant meditation on the stories we tell ourselves to find our place in the world.

Movie of the year. The Last Black Man in San Francisco handles men's relationships so beautifully and with such care. It made me cry. This project was a long time in the making but well worth the wait.

As an East Bay native with social connections to this storyline, this presentation was true in its emotional and factual depiction of the displacement of black families in the City, e.g. Filmore, etc... There are other stories touch upon in this presentation, but the main focus is encompassed in the title. A must see.

Jonathan Majors is the stand out performance, maybe of the year Donald Glover is great but that's obvious Jimmie Fails is amazing. Mike Epps is pretty great in this movie which surprised me.
