Dennis Harvey 48 Hills This is an object lesson in good intentions, culture clash, and the fine line between inclusion and gentrification. Nov 8, 2021 Full Review Noah Berlatsky Splice Today It's easy to see this as a story of exploitation... But things are a bit more complicated than that. Sep 16, 2019 Full Review Richard Knight Windy City Times A stunningly evocative portrait of a location at the epicenter of gay culture, past, present and, one presumes, future...a great affirmation of the power of the creative spirit.

Audience Member A Latino transgender bar tells its own story, courtesy of the performance crew who transformed the space into a once-a-week hipster hangout, in "Wildness," named after the outre art/fashion/music night that filmmaker Wu Tsang and his friends brought to Los Angeles' Silver Platter. Considering the various groups who struggled to coexist there, it's no surprise that the resulting documentary should reflect such an enigmatic mix of identities. Simultaneously vital and unwieldy, this occasionally self-serving yet undeniably eye-opening project is the closest thing the community has to a self-portrait, fancifully narrated (in Spanish) by the Silver Platter itself. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
