The Talking Gender Non-Binary Blues

Saw a sneak preview of this documentary through a mutual friend of the director's. It's a no-frills (but effective...and funny, and enlightening!) look at New York City's LGBTQ+ community, as a wide cross-section of same try to articulate who they are and what their place is in both the Big Apple and the world at large.

So educational and heartwarming.

I learned so much from watching this documentary, it's beautifully shot and directed, I highly recommend it.

A Queer and Clever Conversation

Mattioli craftily steps back and allows the words of everyday New Yorkers to unveil what it means to truly be oneself. Interviewees muse on how language is both a tool and active force in their own lives. Identity is given a portrayal only described in the words of the documentary itself. The film's direction and editing capture a powerful combination: a simultaneous sensation of wading through a sea of passing New Yorkers while also getting to know them on an individual basis. The queer angle in its discussion is what truly elevates Words into an engaging hour and a half.
