Lover of Men: The Untold History of Abraham Lincoln (2024) 91% 3/4 EDIT “Peterson’s movie hits its stride when it’s straightforwardly laying out the stories of Lincoln’s relationships with four key men.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 5, 2024 Full Review National Anthem (2023) 91% 4/4 EDIT ““National Anthem” seems impossibly idyllic yet palpably authentic at the same time” – San Francisco Chronicle Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Cassandro (2023) 91% 4/4 EDIT “The filmmakers avoided the temptations of cheap laughs and produced a satisfying dramatic story that will appeal to both fans and non-fans of this outlandish wrestling genre.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 11, 2023 Full Review Mutt (2023) 89% 4/4 EDIT “This is one of those sneakily good movies where at first nothing much seems to be going on, before the parts start adding up to a satisfying whole.” – San Francisco Chronicle Aug 16, 2023 Full Review Red, White & Royal Blue (2023) 75% 4/4 EDIT “It’s not easy to make an amusing, accessible diversion that mixes LGBTQ positivity and national politics, but “Red, White & Blue” passes the test with flying colors.” – San Francisco Chronicle Aug 10, 2023 Full Review Theater Camp (2023) 86% 2.5/4 EDIT “There are catchy tunes, and we can feel the exhilaration and sense of accomplishment that the youths (and one adult) experience.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jul 17, 2023 Full Review Every Body (2023) 98% 4/4 EDIT “With a zippy soundtrack and breezy editing style, Every Body comes off as an up-to-date declaration that being intersex is something to be celebrated. In the end, we can’t help but share in the enthusiasm.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jul 1, 2023 Full Review Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed (2023) 92% 3/4 EDIT “The engaging HBO documentary Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed, both a guilty pleasure and meaningful slice of queer history, delivers a loving yet irony-laced tribute to a closeted movie icon” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 27, 2023 Full Review Of an Age (2022) 88% 4/4 EDIT “The film delicately embraces grand sentiments without ever being sentimental. And throughout the journey, we can’t help but be enthralled.” – San Francisco Chronicle Feb 14, 2023 Full Review Knock at the Cabin (2023) 67% 2.5/4 EDIT “It’s an apocalyptic dilemma that requires a suspension of disbelief — a whopping helping of disbelief — but the movie is still a taut, well-acted thriller.” – San Francisco Chronicle Feb 1, 2023 Full Review Spoiler Alert (2022) 87% 3/4 EDIT “To the film’s credit, it never wallows in false sentimentality or asks us to feel pity for these characters. I’d say more, but I don’t want to spoil the ending.” – San Francisco Chronicle Nov 28, 2022 Full Review Disenchanted (2022) 38% 4/4 EDIT “Sequels are often rushed affairs, made before they’re ready, and it often reflects on the screen. “Disenchanted,” on the other hand, feels like something that was handled with patience and care.” – San Francisco Chronicle Nov 18, 2022 Full Review Halloween Ends (2022) 40% 2/4 EDIT ““Halloween Ends” feels like there are too many writers on the keyboard, juggling too many subplots, themes and superfluous characters.” – San Francisco Chronicle Oct 13, 2022 Full Review Beast (2022) 68% 2/4 EDIT “There are thrills to be had here, even if the film doesn’t add up to a satisfying whole.” – San Francisco Chronicle Aug 18, 2022 Full Review Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022) 86% 3/4 EDIT “It’s the rare film that can match the vapidity and venom of “Bodies Bodies Bodies,” a combination that’s both toxic and entertaining.” – San Francisco Chronicle Aug 5, 2022 Full Review My Name Is Pauli Murray (2021) 94% 4/4 EDIT “In this Oscar-worthy documentary, Murray shares her hope that she would live to see her lost causes found, and today, we see the fruits of her efforts all around us. Perhaps it's time to update our history books.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 15, 2021 Full Review Copshop (2021) 83% 1/4 EDIT “We're supposed to be taking a fun thrill ride here, with a little existentialism to boot, but "Copshop" can't escape its arrested development.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 14, 2021 Full Review Everybody's Talking About Jamie (2021) 81% 3/4 EDIT “There's nary an unpredictable moment in this family-friendly film - save for a few nice flourishes near the end - but for the most part, the musical is a rousing good time, something worth talking about.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 8, 2021 Full Review Fauci (2021) 86% 3/4 EDIT “The strength of "Fauci" is its underlying theme, which is really not about Fauci at all.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 8, 2021 Full Review 9/11: Inside the President's War Room (2021) 3/4 EDIT “Every single official comes off as genuine and patriotic, and as people who cared about their country. Clearly, there is some legacy-shaping going on here, but that's what public officials do.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 3, 2021 Full Review Worth (2020) 81% 3/4 EDIT “In the end, this Netflix film is a restrained yet unmistakable call for compassion, and it makes a case for the value of every human life.” – San Francisco Chronicle Aug 29, 2021 Full Review Together (2021) 71% 2/4 EDIT “Both McAvoy and Horgan handle the rapid-fire dialogue with gusto, and for a while, their devastating banter is amusing. But eventually the effect begins to wear thin...” – San Francisco Chronicle Aug 23, 2021 Full Review Sweet Girl (2021) 24% 2/4 EDIT “To be sure, Big Pharma execs make for natural movie villains these days, but this story could have used a tad more subtlety, something that was in short supply here.” – San Francisco Chronicle Aug 20, 2021 Full Review Barbara Lee: Speaking Truth to Power (2020) 100% 3/4 EDIT “We don't always get a full picture of Barbara Lee, however, there's no doubt for a single frame that this consummate politician - a pragmatic firebrand - is long overdue for recognition beyond the Bay Area.” – San Francisco Chronicle Aug 17, 2021 Full Review I Carry You With Me (2020) 97% 3/4 EDIT “Most of the time, the effect is exhilarating: a surreal concoction that packs a considerable punch in the film's final moments.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jun 30, 2021 Full Review
