Boring
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Saw this at the Provincetown Film Festival in a collection of shorts. It talks about an unknown gay pioneer named Avery Willard. It slowly (WAY too slowly) explains who he was and why we should care. The problem is we should have been told at the beginning of the short not have it slowly given to us! I was thoroughly bored and confused halfway through and kept wondering why I should care. From what I remember the guy liked drag AND leather also which is very unusual. That was interesting but I found out too late. As I said, I was bored. Also they make him seem like a vicious, cruel guy. Why should I care about him? Good thing it's a short. A long one would have been unbearable! A 1 all the way.
