Wakefield Poole (Pioneering gay filmmaker of the 1970s)
“My favorite gay film is MAKING LOVE. I could relate totally to both men, in both cases. I found it to be beautiful produced, and very honest about what is now talked about openly — “The Downlow.” The performances were all first rate. They should have received all sorts of recognition instead of stalled careers. Check it out again!“

Alice Wu (director, SAVING FACE)
“I fell in love with the Swedish film FUCKING AMAL (SHOW ME LOVE) from the very first frame, which captures the helpless agony of being madly in love with an untouchable girl in the strange hell that is high school. Very little is romanticized and yet the story is terribly romantic. Besides, any movie that features a back seat makeout scene to Foreigner’s ‘I Wanna Know What Love Is’ is aces with me.”
