About This Movie

Sex Positive is a raw and intimate look at Richard Berkowitz, a figure who navigated the tumultuous landscape of the 1980s AIDS crisis. The film really captures that gritty, underground vibe of the era, almost like a time capsule of a community fighting for its survival. Daryl Wein does an interesting job balancing Berkowitz's personal journey with broader themes of activism and sexuality. It’s not just a biography; it’s a snapshot of a vital moment in history. The pacing can feel a bit disjointed at times, mirroring the chaos of the epidemic. Berkowitz's candidness and passion shine through, making it distinct in the realm of documentaries focused on sexuality and public health.
