Stonewall Uprising Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Stonewall Uprising is an important documentary -- and a passionate and compassionate reconstruction of the historic standoff between police and pubcrawlers.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
The directors score a coup in getting testimony from the police officer who led the raid, a now-elderly gentleman who freely confesses the fear that rippled through his unit, and his regrets in having been on the wrong side of history.
Washington Post
Dan Kois
For a movie about a groundbreaking gay rebellion, Stonewall Uprising plays it much too straight.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
It comes alive through the memories of those who were there.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
Pplaces the incident within the context of the Civil Rights struggles of the 1960s with PBS-caliber tact and compassion.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
Stonewall Uprising is first and foremost about people. Politics and history and sexuality are there, too, but they're subsidiary to the human stories the documentary tells.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Wiegand
On the one hand, Stonewall Uprising shows how far we've come toward enlightenment and tolerance since that hot June night. On the other, it reminds us that there are still many minds to change and rights to win.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
This all-new assemblage of rare home-movie footage, photographs, and gripping testimony from people who were there -- including one of the cops who led the raid -- allows us to experience a landmark civil rights event in a fresh and fascinating way.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Stonewall Uprising methodically ticks off the forms of oppression visited on gays and lesbians in the days before the gay rights movement.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
Stonewall Uprising deploys familiar PSA-cum-hate-crimes like the infamous "Boys Beware" with very little restraint in order to truly establish Stonewall's prehistory as a No M2M's Land.
CinemaBlend
Perri Nemiroff
Excellent source of information for those who know little of this monumental occurrence, but for those with no need for a Stonewall riots 101, it has little to offer.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Fascinating doc provides the story of this pivotal moment in gay rights.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
The great strength of Kate David and David Heilbroner's Stonewall Uprising is its rich context.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Cohesive, well-structured docu from veteran filmmakers Kate Davis and David Heilbroner boasts a panoply of found footage, graphically positioning the uprising as a flashpoint following decades of repression.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
The memories of those who were definitely there during those momentous days in late June are undeniably powerful... But are their voices best served by the messy documentary in which they appear?
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
More than half of the documentary isn't about Stonewall at all, which makes for a frustrating 49-minute wait until the uprising begins to rise up.
Movie Dearest
Fr. Chris Carpenter
An excellent and insightful documentary...An inspiring chronicle of the birth of "gay power."
Times-Picayune
Mike Scott
Riveting -- and important -- stuff.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Heartfelt and engagingly filmed, but not nearly as insightful as it could have been with sharper, more provocative questions asked.
New York Daily News
Many witnesses offer emotional recollections of the ensuing riots, but equally powerful moments come courtesy of old footage, in which anti-gay "experts" expound with a confident ignorance that sounds chillingly familiar even today.
