Mostly well received by critics when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won two awards, debuting director Joe Talbot‘s timely drama is based loosely on a true story, with the protagonist playing a lightly fictionalised version of himself.
That’s Jimmie Fails, a black man who finds himself being eased out of an increasingly white, gentrified San Francisco. He’s particularly exercised by the loss of his childhood home, which was built by his grandfather in the 1940s and has now fallen into disrepair. Together with his mate Mont (Jonathan Majors), he seizes an opportunity to reclaim it.
