Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Edward GuthmannWildly entertaining, deeply humanitarian and fundamentally educational film.
Entertainment Weekly - 10/10 by Owen GleibermanParis Is Burning is the most passionately empathetic piece of documentary filmmaking I’ve seen since Streetwise, the brilliant portrait of homeless teens in Seattle, and The Decline of Western Civilization Part II, Penelope Spheeris’ sly and galvanizing heavy-metal collage.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Jay CarrParis Is Burning encapsulates New York at the end of the '80s, examining how a group of outcasts made a home there, using theft and ingenuity.
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Steve DavisAs much a movie about class, race, and sexual orientation as anything you've ever seen.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Hal HinsonParis Is Burning, Jennie Livingston's brilliantly entertaining documentary look into the New York subculture of drag queens and transsexuals, is a rapturous, desperate ode to self-invention.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Desson ThomsonTouching and funny eye-opener of a documentary.
Rolling Stone - 8/10 by Peter TraversParis Is Burning catches the sadly hollow spectacle with acuity, wit and intelligence.
Christian Science Monitor - 8/10 by David SterrittMiss Livingston's interviews reveal a way of living that is both highly structured and self-protective.
Eye for Film - 8/10 by Jennie KermodeA film about resistance, passion and the determined reclamation of cultural space, Paris Is Burning has been tremendously influential, and is essential viewing for any student of the issues it concerns or of the documentary form.
sbs.com.au - 8/10 by Glenn DunksLivingston's film is a poignant look at black and Latinx gay and transgender communities, dissecting race and class, gender and sexuality.
