  1. An exquisite and powerful documentary -- one whose elegance only heightens its devastating impact.

    Speaks so eloquently for itself, there's not much more for me to do than urge you to get over to the Nuart for the one week it's playing in Los Angeles.
  3. At once admirable and deeply unsettling.

    The tales told are bitter, horrific in detail...yet often leavened with irony and humor. Rupert Everett's low-key narration serves the film well.

    Inspirational for any one who sees that homosexuality is a daily struggle. these few survivors lived through hell and still saw a reason to live, not sure i would have felt the same. Expand
