Lisa Kennedy Variety Performance is at the heart of "Shakedown," one of the reasons it's rich fodder for brainy considerations of LGBTQ identity and gender. Jun 4, 2020 Full Review Ela Bittencourt Hyperallergic A thrilling and also valuable film. The audience must take the imaginative leap and accept the contradicting identities that Weinraub presents, without insisting that they must cancel out. Feb 18, 2020 Full Review Kambole Campbell One Room With A View It's a nuanced, moving look at a haven of sexual freedom and expression, and raucous fun at the same time. Rated: 4/5 Aug 25, 2018 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) In the vein of Paris Is Burning, Weinraub captures a specific time and place with curiosity and empathy. Feb 12, 2024 Full Review Steve Erickson Gay City News The grainy look adds an immersive texture to the film... Jul 28, 2020 Full Review Andrew F. Peirce The Curb A film like Shakedown reminds viewers how hyper-masculine the gay-doc genre is. It's almost as is if most of them forget that the first letter stands for lesbian.
