Tongues Untied poster

A mix between essay, documentary and performance material. Untied Tongues is an indie film that no doubt spoke to a community that had no other big outlet at the time. It's a film from the black/gay community that offers a little insight into their lives, though never very explicitly.

Though no doubt valuable, the low production values and woolly delivery made it quite hard for me to get into the film. I think I would've preferred a more straightforward documentary about this subject, then again I'm generally not big on poetry, nor am I the target audience. It's a fine attempt, but not something that left a big impression.
