A chronicle of gay culture in New York during the post-Stonewall, pre-AIDs era. Thirteen men and one woman look back at gay life and sex in Manhattan and Fire Island - from Stonewall (June, 1969) to the first reporting on AIDS (June, 1981). They describe the rapid move from repression to celebration, from the removal of shame to joy, the on-going search for "someone," the freedom before AIDS, the friendships, and brotherhood.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
... Lovett's tribute to a bygone era feels like it might resonate deeper if context and character overpowered story upon story of sexual excess.
– Robert K. Elder,
Chicago Tribune,
27 Jan 2006
fresh:
Despite the retrospective sensationalism, Lovett's 70-minute documentary is a sobering anti-erotic cautionary tale.
– Wesley Morris,
Boston Globe,

The faces of that movement are what sell this story -- with enthusiasm, not regret.
– Bruce Westbrook,
Houston Chronicle,
17 Feb 2006
fresh:
An engrossing piece of social history, a lively, astonishingly well-documented excavation of that period between June 1969 and June 1981 when gay men in New York experienced a bacchanalian burst of sexual liberation.
– Ann Hornaday,
Washington Post,
2 Mar 2006
rotten:
... lacks the authority of such gay documentary classics as "Word Is Out" and "Before Stonewall," which were far more inclusive.
