      Hank Stuever Washington Post Compelling one-hour documentary... Jul 9, 2019 Full Review Kristy Puchko Pajiba The Lavender Scare is a decent intro to a pivotal part of gay rights movement. Jul 5, 2019 Full Review Hanh Nguyen indieWire It's inspiring and humbling at once to see how change can be made, even by a small group of people, no matter how slowly. Rated: B Jun 19, 2019 Full Review Doris Toumarkine FilmDINGHY.com Much credit goes...to the doc's editors and researchers who unearthed and effectively organized so much material into a chilling, thrilling true story. Feb 11, 2020 Full Review Charles Solomon FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) This is well-intended, but repetitive and kind of fragmented. Oct 1, 2019 Full Review Alistair Ryder Gay Essential This moment in history, long relegated to being a mere footnote (if mentioned at all), can now finally become part of the conversation on LGBT rights - let's make sure we don't forget it again.
