CRITICS’ PICKS
The Last Black Man in San Francisco: Jimmie Fails plays a fictionalized version of himself in director Joe Talbot’s gorgeous Sundance prize-winning debut feature, which tells a deeply personal story of friendship, community and the yearning for home.
Yesterday: A struggling English musician awakens after an accident to a new reality in which the Beatles never existed and their song catalog is free for him to use as his own.
Toy Story 4: Woody (voice of Tom Hanks) and the rest of the gang embark on a road trip with a new friend.
