CGiii Comment

Meckler has, obviously, never been in a gay bar - yes, the question raises its head again - should a woman direct this material?

Sherman definitely lives in a world populated with bitchy queens - with the odd toe dipped in reality.

This should have been a great film - but, sadly, it is way off target.

It is watchable, monumentally moving but...sadly, lacking.
