"Fascinating...
a beautifully and thoughtfully made film that touches
on many areas of human sexuality and human expression
beyond the obvious... a vital and artful piece of work...
Celluloid Closet is a nonfiction film that presses
more emotional buttons than many a manipulative melodrama
and seems of equal interest to those of every conceivable
sexual identity. It's not only about how people see each
other and see themselves; it's also about being human
and the joy and pain and confusion that strange condition
entails."
Tom
Shales, The Washington Post
"It's hard to
imagine a documentary more elegant, intelligent and absorbing
than The Celluloid Closet... eloquent, impassioned
and unforgettable."
-
Edward Guthman, San Francisco Chronicle
"That's Entertainment
with a difference... snappy, glamorous... a testimonial
to the magic of the movies."
-
J. Hoberman, Premiere
"Thoroughly enjoyable...
funny and informative... a colorful overview with the
popular appeal of a That's Entertainment... sheer
fun."
