Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% “[Director Richard Marquand's] sense of staging, skill with actors and ability to raise the series' underlying themes from the theoretical to the palpable are still what make Return of the Jedi a worthy finish.” – Los Angeles Daily News Apr 25, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (1993) 92% 3/4 “"The Wedding Banquet" is proof that we need an independent cinema.” – Los Angeles Daily News Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Neil Young: Coastal (2025) 79% 2.5/4 “The documentary could have used a little more excitement, but “Coastal” leaves us with a lingering notion that we’ve seen something special.” – San Francisco Chronicle Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Art Spiegelman: Disaster Is My Muse (2024) 100% 4/4 ““Art Spiegelman: Disaster Is My Muse,” the latest installment of the venerable PBS “American Masters” series, does a thorough job of laying out and appreciating all of the cartoonist’s significant, consistently subversive works.” – San Francisco Chronicle Apr 14, 2025 Full Review The King of Kings (2025) 64% 2/4 ““The King of Kings” gives the Jesus story an animated treatment with some whimsical Dickensian touches. It’s nothing to write scripture about, but it should provide amusing and possibly enlightening Easter entertainment for younger children.” – San Francisco Chronicle Apr 10, 2025 Full Review One to One: John & Yoko (2024) 89% 2/4 “It’s inspiring and often amusing to watch troubled soul Lennon strive to be his best self while the culture around him freaks out. Ditto for Ono, whose charming humanity dispels endless media fantasies about her.” – San Francisco Chronicle Apr 10, 2025 Full Review A Working Man (2025) 49% 2/4 ““A Working Man” is another workmanlike Jason Statham bloodbath.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 27, 2025 Full Review The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024) 88% 2.5/4 “The laugh ratio is more hit-and-miss than in the tightly scripted shorts, but enough jokes land to satisfy most funny bones.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 13, 2025 Full Review The Electric State (2025) 15% 1/4 “The vast robo-mashups in “The Electric State” contain so much misguided artistry you just can’t look away. ” – San Francisco Chronicle Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Riff Raff (2024) 59% 3/4 “The new film is jokier than the director’s usual fare, but it takes familial relationships seriously. Mixed with solid-to-spectacular performances and quirk that mostly avoids cutesiness, the combination pays off as often as not.” – San Francisco Chronicle Feb 26, 2025 Full Review My Dead Friend Zoe (2024) 95% 3/4 “It’s the rare, slightly supernatural entertainment that acknowledges processing loss and grief is a tall order for even the toughest souls.” – San Francisco Chronicle Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Flight Risk (2025) 30% 2/4 “The equivalent of a suspenseful Spirit Airlines commercial...” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Better Man (2024) 88% 2/4 “Can't fault Williams for becoming the beloved entertainer that was always his aspiration, though. "The Greatest Showman" director Gracey plays into that, especially in the spectacle-packed music sequences that overdo the maudlin and martyr imagery.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 8, 2025 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% 4/4 “Few films have done it like this one in a long, long time.” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 8, 2025 Full Review Don't Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever (2025) 75% 3/4 “Equal parts inspirational science lesson, probing personal portrait, infomercial, and lifestyle of the rich and messianic, the movie portrays Johnson as a relatable, probably decent and maybe even heroic guy. ” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 3, 2025 Full Review Porcelain War (2024) 95% 4/4 “Backed by a feral, driving score from Ukrainian folkloric quartet DakhaBrakha, “Porcelain War” makes the case for art as another protective weapon against imperialism. ” – San Francisco Chronicle Jan 3, 2025 Full Review The Rescuers Down Under (1990) 85% 3/4 “A sleekly plotted, richly designed adventure full of hearty laughs, hair-raising escapades, terrific perspective tricks and a true sense of wonder and respect for nature.” – Los Angeles Daily News Dec 15, 2024 Full Review The Little Mermaid (1989) 92% “This time we mean it: The Little Mermaid marks the studio's return to tiptop, classic animation. It's a swirling delight full of color, music and primal emotions, spiced with humor and terror.” – Los Angeles Daily News Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was... (2024) 100% “Though ultimately celebratory and life-affirming, “What Had Happened Was …” is no less groundbreaking. It’s the story of a life, one that was almost lost, told in 60 minutes of laughter, terror and love.” – San Francisco Chronicle Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Day of the Fight (2023) 85% 2/4 “Pitt’s all-in performance and an impressive supporting cast supply enough roughhouse wit and Brooklyn grit to hold up scenes that might have otherwise gone down for the count.” – San Francisco Chronicle Dec 12, 2024 Full Review The Six Triple Eight (2024) 55% 3/4 ““The Six Triple Eight” respects its noteworthy topic — and its audience — as much as it possibly could.” – San Francisco Chronicle Dec 7, 2024 Full Review Y2K (2024) 42% 2/4 “Though drenched in nostalgia, the screenplay Mooney co-wrote for his directing debut lacks the psychological depth or understanding of cultural attachment that another hybrid comedy he shared screenwriting credit for, “Brigsby Bear” (2017), did. ” – San Francisco Chronicle Dec 4, 2024 Full Review Separated (2024) 96% 3/4 “Still, current events lend the film a power that goes beyond its flaws. The way “Separated” looks back in indignation is now incalculably enhanced by fear for the future, with even more traumatizing measures on the horizon...” – San Francisco Chronicle Nov 20, 2024 Full Review Elevation (2024) 55% 2/4 “Still, the main thing you’re likely to take away from this movie is how nice all those rocks and trees look.” – San Francisco Chronicle Nov 7, 2024 Full Review The Wild Robot (2024) 96% 4/4 “Growing beyond one’s programming is the core theme of the film, but original engineering must be respected. A similar agenda makes “The Wild Robot” both classical and innovative, which is quite a balancing act.” – San Francisco Chronicle Sep 26, 2024 Full Review
