them.

Focusing on stories about trying to survive in the Big Apple (some inspiring, others devastating), the documentary also examines the relationship between the city and creative minds who couldn't imagine themselves anywhere else.

Glenn Dunks

The Film Experience

It's crudely filmed on home video cameras, but that lack of polish gives I Hate New York the exact kind of grungy aesthetic that a film about this scene calls for.

Carla Hay

Culture Mix

I Hate New York isn't about disdain for America's most-populated city but rather hate for any transphobia ... The transgender people who star in this documentary admirably show how they've been able to rise above the hate.

Gay Essential

It's a remarkably vibrant depiction of a fiercely colourful side of the city's nightlife, simply because these four people live just outside the mainstream.

Rated: 3/5
