Paris Is Burning

Paris Is Burning is an important look into the drag and transgender scene of the eighties that offers a lot of revelatory interviews along with introducing the viewers to the vocabulary and this overall culture very well. The movie is well directed and edited, but its severely melancholic tone really sticks with you, and it culminates with that heartbreaking ending.

9. I'm going back in667 Philly outdoors in a couple hours but I'll have the check in the mail to you about this 9l

awful. critics who rated this highly should put their social views aside when rating things for others to see. we just wont listen or trust you anymore.

An ABSOLUTE classic! A must see. J’adore.

Why are movies like this raved by the critics but Christian based movies panned

Gross and disturbing.

An absolutely fantastic documentary. The people are so genuine, fun, often wise beyond their years, and clearly resilient. Brilliant but also important and incredibly poignant.

Like the balls themselves, the film allows people to express themselves without facing unwarranted judgement.

Though gawkily put together, this LGBT documentary remains iconic by centering on queer iconoclasts of color having a ball pursuing an alternative lifestyle to escape poverty and abandonment issues by defining voguing, shading and reading, pretending to be the women of their blonde ambition.

Full of role models and style icons! 5 stars
