Which Is Scary is a fascinating documentary from 1991 that dives into the real-life experiences of gays and lesbians. It's not flashy or polished, but rather raw and candid, with seven distinct portraits that reveal the complexities of personal narratives. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the audience to absorb the weight of coming out stories, the harsh realities of bashing, and the struggles with AIDS. The tone is both somber and enlightening, and while there's no big budget spectacle here, the power lies in the authenticity of the voices heard. You get a sense of community through these accounts, and that makes it stand out in the genre of LGBTQ+ documentaries. It's an intimate look, one that resonates long after the credits roll.
