One emerges from this film not only with a new vocabulary and a fresh way of viewing the straight world but with a bracing object lesson in understanding what society "role models" are all about.

Chicago Reader
Paris Is Burning is a masterpiece that works as well as it does because its point of view is not that of someone instructing the audience like a tenured professor.

...Absorbing, seductive....Scrupulously open and evenhanded...
Los Angeles Times
The way that [director Jennie Livingstone] looks at the subculture and just lets them tell their own stories is just so wonderful.

Rating: 8/10 --
Even better for last year's book release, if you did not get a chance to see this movie thirty years ago, do not miss it now.

Rating: 4/5 --
More than anything, Paris is Burning is a thoroughly entertaining performance film. Beneath the theatrical trappings, though, sits layer after layer of poverty and abuse. Livingston manages to navigate those dueling moods of celebration and depression.

Product Description:
An unblinking, behind-the-scenes story of the young men of Harlem who originated "voguing" and turned these stylized dance competitions into a glittering expression of fierce personal pride.
