"Saturday Night at the Baths" is no great offering of storytelling, but it does have a distinct fingerprint when it comes to detailing a moment in history, capturing the jubilance of performance and the thrill of living free. Go to Full Review Steve Warren The Barb (Atlanta) 05/09/2023
Only a short step up from amateur work. Go to Full Review Steven K. Blevins Gay Community News (Boston) 08/30/2022
Saturday Night at the Baths is an entertaining, sometimes touching vignette, but is far from being a landmark film for gay people. Go to Full Review Mitch Morrill Los Angeles Free Press 11/23/2019

Mikey M 01/23/2024 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. See more 09/02/2010 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! See more Read all reviews
