British filmmaker Ron Peck discusses the experiences that led to his directorial feature debut, 1978's visionary coming-out tale "Nighthawks." Intercutting the director's own frank commentary with behind-the-scenes and cutting-room footage from the earlier film, Peck investigates the pitfalls of the gay community's uninhibited embrace of sexual freedom -- an attitude that, Peck believes, has negatively effected gay males' willingness to enter into committed relationships.

Geoff Andrew Time Out 06/24/2006
As autobiographical documentary, the film is ambitious, earnest, heartfelt; as a history of the British gay experience, it suffers from excessive subjectivity. Go to Full Review
Stephen Holden New York Times 05/20/2003
Even amid the catastrophe of AIDS, Mr. Peck finds solace in the gay movement's visibility and solidarity. Go to Full Review
Quentin Crisp Christopher Street 04/06/2022
It is impossible to find fault with this picture because its intention is to show the world what the "gay scene" in England is really like, and it succeeds. [But] I couldn’t help longing for a little gaiety in the gayness -- even possibly a touch of camp. Go to Full Review
