After 78 Years, Is It Time for the Chronicle's Little Man to Retire?
Long before the age of emojis, decades before even the thumbs-up/thumbs-down metric of film mavens Siskel & Ebert, San Francisco Chronicle readers were bequeathed their own shorthand consumer metric for films and plays, the so-called Little Man.

Review: 'Eileen' doesn't quite add up, but don't ...
Eileen is played by Thomasin McKenzie, in another strong performance.

Little Man, Big Adventures. Since the early 1940s, the small bald guy in the bowler hat has been the Bay Area's arbiter of good taste. Used by Chronicle critics as a rating icon, he really gets around — to movies, live theater, concerts and football games. Winter, spring, summer and fall … the Little Man guided you through it all.

Review: 'Apollo 13: Survival' is real-life thriller
Middleton is an expert at turning an aural or written record into a visually exciting narrative.
