Alexander Ryll Gay Essential Upstairs Inferno isn't just compelling viewing for its journalistic competence and historical value but most importantly it's essential viewing for its social value. Sep 15, 2019 Full Review Sarah Boslaugh Playback:stl ...rich in interviews and archival materials that create a portrait of gay life of the time in New Orleans in the 1970s. Rated: 7/10 Apr 21, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Interesting and worth seeing, especially if interested in New Orleans. It does lack polish and Rice's narration is distracting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
