The history of the cultural and social movement that began as an offshoot of punk.

Leor Galil

Chicago Reader

The film's tilt toward the scene's early days speaks to the endurance of LaBruce and Jones's original concept: they built it, and the punks haven't stopped coming.

Katie Walsh

Los Angeles Times

Leyser's film is an important document capturing the influence of queercore, an underground movement that enjoys life on the fringes, where identifying as an anti-establishment "arty weirdo" is just as important as sexuality.

Bruce DeMara

Toronto Star

Goes beyond cultural anthropology, exploring how queer activism briefly allied itself to the punk movement before becoming its own movement with the gay liberation movement.

Rated: 3/4

Marked by endless strangely humourless and self-important philosophizing... the doc drags.

jimi l

attempts to re write queer punk history by reducing Wayne/Jayne County to a now you see her, now you don't.. this movie is a lie and a must to avoid!

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
