This documentary is well paced and includes interesting archives. It's a pleasant and extensive introduction to the life and books of Esther Newton. The documentary will certainly reinforce her status as a queer icon and a legendary lesbian feminist.
Humble, witty, and charming, the spectator discovers a touching person who was au audacious pioneer in the fields of anthropology and queer theory. The documentary is also interesting in the way it presents, through Esther Newton's life, key moments in the history of American feminism and the LGBTQ movement.
I liked how much this documentary conveys kindness and makes you want to read Newton's essays.
