Essential, thoroughly engaging documentary.

By Peter Debruge FULL REVIEW

Jun 18, 2020

Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen not only leaves us with the hope that things will improve, but it also shows us how much better the industry is when everyone is included, represented, and respected. Here’s to a brighter, more diverse future for all trans actors.

By Norman Gidney FULL REVIEW

Jun 25, 2020

If you don’t like buzzwords or self-“actualization” jargon, Disclosure is going to be a hard pill to swallow. It’s a film awash in actresses, activists, models and historians (overwhelmingly trans female), almost all of them using this new nomenclature that the public at large is struggling to catch up with.

By Roger Moore FULL REVIEW

San Francisco Chronicle

Jun 17, 2020

Portrayals of transgender people in movies and television are a vast and complex subject, but Netflix’s new documentary Disclosure does an admirable job of covering many issues and contradictions a century of mostly insensitive screen depictions have raised.

Jul 7, 2020

What the documentary overlooks, or mythologizes, only hurts the historical record of positive trans representation.
