From both a technical and political standpoint, The Stroll is a tremendous achievement.
The Stroll is a powerful piece of trans history-making, a document that feels wounded, lived in, and yet joyfully alive.
Enduring racist policing, violence, poverty, and employment discrimination; they also found joy, humor, sisterhood, and community. By celebrating these women’s humanity and spirit without minimizing their hardships, that duality is what makes The Stroll so markedly different than what’s come before it.
Kristen Lovell has skin in the game of the story she tells, making The Stroll, an oral/archive history of the trans sex workers of New York’s Meatpacking District, a raw and tender memoir.
The Stroll is a vital work of recent urban history. Even if you wouldn’t want to have lived there, you won’t regret visiting.
With the help of some vivid old photographs, their documentary reconstructs a world that was both darkly dangerous and strangely liberating.
The Stroll is overtly broad, detached, and full of ready-made empowerment rhetoric.
