Leave your thoughts about Before Stonewall.
| Old School ReviewsJohn A. NesbitBefore Stonewall stands as a competent documentary, straight-forward without any great cinematic techniques that stand out |
| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostFascinating history of 20th Century Gay America |
| User ReviewJohn Joseph MAn important and enjoyable record of life and the struggle for gay rights prior to the Stonewall riots. Lots of moving and heart warming stories, every LGBT person should watch this. |
| User ReviewAnnonymous MWhat a great window on Gay and Lesbian life prior to the liberation movement of the 60's. |
| User ReviewGraceann MAn interesting perspective on the lives that lesbian and gay people had to live before the Stonewall Riots in 1969. |
| User ReviewAshley MVery interesting, especially the part about WWII and the military! |
| User ReviewD GDocumentary on the start of the modern gay rights movement. Fascinating to watch to say the least. Before 1972 gays and lesbians were thought to be mentally ill! Weve come a long way. |
| User ReviewVanessa dGay History 101. Required viewing, with popcorn and poppers. |
| User ReviewLesley Kfascinating look at queers in the 1900s-stonewall. lots of amazing footage and pics of gay bos gaying it up. very interesting. makes you really appreciate what queers got now. |
| User ReviewFredrick RNot the best executed documentary; the narration could have been improved upon. However I enjoyed the content of the film. I would recommend this to all of my friends as a, "must see", especially if they are not familiar with the history of the gay culture pre-Stonewall. |
