    I really enjoyed this film

    Hassan has made a real treasure with this sweet film. The actors are very good, and Jimmy Darling shows an aching and trusting vulnerability as the man in search of his mother. I enjoyed the familiar scenes of San Francisco.

    My hats off to Hassan, who I've known for several years. He lives his life to make these films with an unflinching commitment. This is his first film made in the United States, and it's a big shift from his previous work, showing the kinky underside of San Francisco, instead of the more conservative themes of his films made in Pakistan. I'm looking forward to what comes next.

    Captivating and entertaining

    Amazingly addictive storyline That kept me at the edge of my seat throughout the entire movie. I never knew what would happen next. Bunny Stewart , Who plays Paris was perfect for the role. She had a great heart and also her own tragic story that kept her very relatable to other main character Josh. All the scenes were completely in line with eachother . Nothing came at the wrong time. This was the best way to portray the San Francisco nightlife and the characters all flowed with eachother in all scenes . I especially liked Murphy's role. It was actually believable that a mother in that line of work could actually scar a child that way . It was entertaining to say the least . I will come to the Sacramento premier to see this movie again !! And I will refer it to friends and family .

    A Funny and Interesting Story

    I liked the storyline which was very interesting and how the story developed was engaging. The character of Murphy was great. He was believable and was able to express his emotions in the scenes very well. How the cowboy meets Paris in the club was fun and interesting. I really liked the old vibes of San Francisco bars which were chosen to shoot the film. I had never been to Edinburgh Castle and was amazed to see this old gem in Tenderloin. It has a great character to look at. The go go dancer in Powerhouse was funny. Film was a good insight into the weirdness of San Francisco and misfits who live here. I have met these characters in the streets of San Francisco. Seems like the director wanted to present San Francisco as a very accepting city. The cowboy getting emotional in the climax was very believable. I will watch it again.

    San Francisco looking great in this movie

    Great shots of San Francisco in this movie that really gives you a feel for the city. The colours and production design are well-thought out and add to the vibrancy of what the characters go through. San Francisco is of course a very vibrant city, so this mirrors this.

    The sound is also great, it all comes together and works really well. (Personally bad sound can really ruin a movie for me.) Impressed with the multiple locations and energy of this film. The make-up also looks very good. The actors are going all out for it, really investing themselves in the storyline. Checked out the other films of this director and he is one to watch.

    San Francisco Cowboy - A Journey of Self-Discovery

    Title: San Francisco Cowboy

    Director: Dr. Hassan Zee

    Genre: Coming of Age, Drama

    "San Francisco Cowboy" takes audiences on a captivating journey through the colorful streets of San Francisco, blending the traditional charm of the cowboy culture with the vibrant and diverse backdrop of the city. Directed by Dr. Hassan Zee, this film tells the tale of a young, handsome, and slightly naive cowboy's unexpected adventure as he becomes entangled in the gender-fluid nightlife of San Francisco while searching for his long-lost mother.

    The juxtaposition of the cowboy's traditional values against the progressive and open-minded atmosphere of San Francisco creates a fascinating contrast that drives the heart of the story. The director masterfully navigates these conflicting worlds, offering viewers a chance to reflect on the idea of self-discovery in the midst of unfamiliar territory.

    The film's setting, the beautiful city of San Francisco, becomes a character in its own right, with its iconic landmarks serving as the perfect backdrop for the cowboy's transformative journey. The cinematography captures both the rural landscapes reminiscent of the cowboy's roots and the neon-lit streets that symbolize the city's nightlife.

    The standout performance of the cast, especially the young cowboy who undergoes a profound transformation, lends authenticity and emotional depth to the narrative. The supporting characters from the gender-fluid community are portrayed with sensitivity and respect, emphasizing the importance of acceptance and understanding in a world that often clings to conventions.

    Dr. Hassan Zee's direction skillfully balances moments of heartfelt introspection with lighthearted encounters, creating a narrative rhythm that mirrors the complexities of real life. The film tackles themes of identity, self-acceptance, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and child. These themes are woven seamlessly into the cowboy's journey, allowing viewers to connect on both a personal and universal level.

    "San Francisco Cowboy"s overall impact is undeniably strong. The movie's ability to evoke a range of emotions, from laughter to introspection, is a testament to its powerful storytelling and compelling characters.

    In conclusion, "San Francisco Cowboy" is a unique and thought-provoking film that beautifully captures the spirit of self-discovery in an evolving world. Dr. Hassan Zee's direction, along with the standout performances and the vivid portrayal of San Francisco, come together to create a cinematic experience that lingers long after the credits roll. It's a movie that encourages us all to embrace our individual journeys, no matter how unexpected they may be.
