This was a great little film. If you're looking for a point, there isn't really one, but there are lots of interviews with interesting people with a lot to say about life pre- and just post-Stonewall. Edward Albee is unrepentant about having been an ill-tempered curmudgeon, but he does admit that he might have been wrong a few times. Christian Siriano comes off as a narcissistic imbecile. And Mart Crowley was really rocking a Wednesday Addams look when he was young.
The last third of the film talks a lot about how most of the actors' careers never quite got back on track afterward. Robert La Tourneaux ended up advertising himself for tricks with The Cowboy from BITB for $100. And it's also about how almost every one of the gay actors (the majority) died young. And over all, about how angry they were about both things.
This is a worthy addition to the body of films about the early days of the gay liberation movement.
