Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Desmond Pereira It was almost deja vu for me, watching what lifestyle was like in those heady days of Gay sex in the 70's.The thing about it was that it really happened just like that - not only in NYC but around the world! I lived in Perth, Australia and it was all happening here as well! This is a very good archive of a time in history and valuable in today's world.It was fun to see all the pretty young things in their heyday who are all past middle age, yet knowing that they'd come a long way to get here.I enjoyed it and highly recommend it to anyone who was around at the time.

vagabondage-2 This film has great stills, stories and footage of the NYC gay scene in the 70s. I wasn't there for it but had an older cousin who lived through it all -- it was wonderful to see "up close and personal" what all the tall tales were about. I've been doing AIDS activism for 20 years and it finally dawned on me why half of my friends dropped like flies in the mid '80s -- now I'm amazed that anyone made it through that time.The film is not a snoozer, unless you're expecting pornography. The interviews are touching, and I was left wanting more. A must-see for the PnP boys who think they know it all, and the guys in their 60's and 70's who managed to survive it all.

michael-1647 This film made me aware for the first time in years of what a heavy wall came down with the AIDS epidemic, sowing fear and shame in a community that had only really begun to form. It was a community that revolved around sex, yes, but was starting to celebrate a self awareness for the accomplishments of it's members in virtually every profession- law, literature, government, education, film, art, food, etc. Watching this film took me back before the days that fear inflicted us as much as the disease. It is a nostalgic look at a rare time, but not a thoughtless one. Maybe this film could not have been made earlier than now, when the narrators can look back from a point of middle aged survival and relative stability and remember what a strange and wonderful time it was.

lundin-2 Excellent and to the point.The topic is interesting and shows a clear contrast between the pre-AIDS world and the post-AIDS world. As I grew up, AIDS was already a factor, so to me the notion of random unsafe sex seems quite the gamble. It made me think about what could be discovered in years to come to make our present lifestyle seem like a game of Russian roulette. I enjoyed a short cameo by Swedish musician Sebastian Utbult! Also, anyone who is interested in the scene needs to see this movie. It's a definite trip to retrotown :)Thank you for the eye opener, Mr. Lovett!
