Vintage: Families of Value

About This Movie

So, 'Vintage: Families of Value' is a really interesting documentary that digs deep into the complexities of family dynamics, especially through the lens of LGBTQ+ experiences. It captures three black families and their stories, told by their gay and lesbian siblings, including Lyle Ashton Harris. The tone can swing from heavy to reflective, making you think hard about acceptance and identity. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sit with the emotions and nuances of each family. It doesn't shy away from pain but also highlights resilience. There’s a rawness to the performances that feels authentic, like you’re right there with them. It's distinctive in how it combines personal narratives with broader social themes - not your run-of-the-mill doc, for sure.
