As Weber and Weissman demonstrate with such insight and celebratory verve, the Cockettes weren't as much about gender, sexual preference or political agitprop as they were simply a triumph of the indomitable human will to rebel, connect and create.
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

An insightfully cheeky entertainment.

This expert, heartfelt movie establishes them as being as much a part of swingin' San Francisco as the Grateful Dead or the Beats.

Manages to transcend the sex, drugs and show-tunes plot into something far richer.
