It was a sensational, engaging, and evocative film that rightly remains one of the bright spots of 1982 and of historical pro-LGBTQ cinema.

It’s enjoyable and basically its heart is in the right place. It’s a step forward in a time when most films seem to be a step behind, and that’s saying something.

Andrews is delightful, even as the gimmick of a plot approaches its inevitable, calamitous yet contrived, and irresolute final revelation.

The art deco atmosphere seduces me with the musical numbers and a staging that exudes charm with its elaborate authenticity. [Full review in Spanish]
