Featured review
Should be called, "18 New Yorkers in the 70's"
This is a film that suffers from the same malady that so many gay films suffer from. It's all about New Yorkers, and only eighteen of them. (Count the cast yourself.)
Like Longtime Companion, and even Angels in America, it assumes that homosexuals only live and love in NYC.
Considering the title I guess I expected a broader more enlightening documentary.
In the opening segment it promises to cover 69-81, Stonewall till AIDS. Then it goes on to cover AIDS anyway, in a tact-on perfunctory manner. "See how the consequences played out?" it seems to say.
The film is not particularly enlightening in any way and nothing that hasn't' been said before.
It would certainly be nice to see a film someday that could encompass the gay experience of all of America instead of a tiny group of New Yorkers.
The fact that San Francisco is not even mentioned should tell you that this film does not live up to it's title.
If you want to see a film about gay sexuality, you would be better off looking up "SEX IS," or even renting some classic gay porn.
