Only a short step up from amateur work.

Saturday Night at the Baths is an entertaining, sometimes touching vignette, but is far from being a landmark film for gay people.

A weak ending to an otherwise average film.

A curio, not a lost classic, although it deserves attention for its progressive advocacy of gay rights.

Rated: 2.5/5

it's troubling to watch this film and wonder how many of the young people who appear in it were dead less than ten years after it was made.

Rated: 2.5/5

I really liked this film. I have certainly not seen a film about similar subject matter. It was very tender and very good as a historical artifact. If you are bisexual or poly you'll probably get a kick out it.

this movie is a must-see. It deals with coming with terms with your true self, and accepting gay people. It was well cast and written and directed. Though in reality bathhouses are scummy, this movie made them seem less scummy, if that's even possible, but in this case it is!
