A night in a gay bar in East London's Mile End district.

Jason Bailey

Flavorwire

The combination of the spotty lighting and the darkness of the image ends up abstracting the dancing in interesting ways, and clarity hardly matters anyway - the joy and freedom still peek through.

Glenn Kenny

New York Times

This is not a picture about which extravagant claims ought to be made; it really is, in the end, an hour and change in a London disco in 1984. But as a page from an artist's notebook, and a time capsule curio, it rates pretty high.

My New Plaid Pants

This might be Jarman's least intellectually challenging film but it's got sweat and sex and charm and just sheer exhilaration to spare.

Rated: A

Max Nelson

Cinema Scope

For Jarman, 16mm and Super 8 were the best means with which to catch, as he might have put it, the dryads lurking around Britain's corners.

Out Magazine

Jarman's goal was reportorial-to investigate, witness and reveal an aspect of gay nightlife-but he captured a fleeting yet timeless and fundamental essence of the culture.
