Michael Rogers This movie should be retitled: Sex in the 70s In a Part of New York City called Greenwich Village and Chelsea.This movie does little to talk about sex in the 70s except focus on the hypersexual environments of public and private sex spaces in New York City. I doubt that the Manhole bar was symbolic of actual sex in the 70s and that kind of sex is much more prevalent in the film.Don't get me wrong, the time period looks like a blast. And it's rather important to document the scene to which the film refers. But as far as calling this film Sex in the 70s, the title is a bit misleading. Technically it's no Oscar Nominee, but the rawness of it feels appropriate for the subject.Overall, an "eh."

Desmond Pereira It was almost deja vu for me, watching what lifestyle was like in those heady days of Gay sex in the 70's.The thing about it was that it really happened just like that - not only in NYC but around the world! I lived in Perth, Australia and it was all happening here as well! This is a very good archive of a time in history and valuable in today's world.It was fun to see all the pretty young things in their heyday who are all past middle age, yet knowing that they'd come a long way to get here.I enjoyed it and highly recommend it to anyone who was around at the time.

johnb609 I read the other review of this movie and couldn't believe we had seen the same film—maybe we didn't. I thought this was an interesting history of an era, perhaps a unique era, and that it had an obvious beginning and an obvious end. I especially liked that the title was so mundane.The photos of men in NYC in the 70s were spectacular and the entire story captivating, at least for me.I went because I tend to like documentaries and I think the movie was well structured. There is a point at which it "dawns on you" and you might even get up and go at that point but it is a good history.I wonder what Pompeii was like...

jayme381 loved it! As a young female living in New York City, Joseph Lovett's film is incredibly eye opening and significant. The documentary will both shock and delight you as it takes the viewer on a journey back to a decade that was both decadent and destructive. This doc can be appreciated by all, as it successfully recaptures a time of exploration and surprise which was briefly situated between the centuries of repression that characterized the pre 1969/Stonewall years and before the AIDS crisis which devastated the gay community. This decade was a watershed momentin the history of the evolution of the gay identity. Beyond the tantalizing subject matter, the technical aspects of the film were impressive to say the least. Specifically, the archival work, which was extensive and entirely relevant All in all, an incredibly significant and fascination doc and an incredibly significant and fascinating era.
