CGiii Comment

Bartels manages to tick all the boxes in the LGBT spectrum.

However, a documentary is only as strong as its subjects...here, those subjects are a dreary bunch of individuals...spouting endlessly on about everything, amounting to nothing.

There is one exception - Mark - he does have something worth listening to - living with disability in the gay community.

The others...Jayrome, the performance artist, is a bore. Nico, the queer/punk writer, is lost in nostalgia. And, Isabelle will make you feel nauseous.

The end could have come quicker - by cutting out these three testimonies.

Monumentally monotonous.
