Overly Honest Reviews by Chris Jones

“At the movies: Usher, 'Tranformers,' and 'Studio One Forever',”  coverage

DAILY REPUBLIC

Crucial... uncovers one of the first queer spots in Los Angeles that was loud and flashy instead of quiet and hidden.

-Film Threat

Studio One Forever shows what freedom really looks like and why it can’t be allowed to be taken away again.

-Film Threat

I am declaring Studio One Forever is now required viewing for the newer generations of queer culture. -Film Threat

An important document of an era when queer culture was bursting – through the phenomenon of disco – into the mainstream.

-Los Angeles Blade

Studio One Forever aims to immortalize the venue in a sparkling cinematic vision.

-Queerty

‘Studio One’ chronicles nightclub’s decadent reign as queen of queer LA nightlife.

-Washington Blade

This doc stands as a shimmering time capsule to this crucial piece of LGBTQ+ history.

-Queerty

Another important addition to the ever-growing gay canon of vital stories about our community.

-Edge Media Network

Studio One’s story is told through the voices of those who lived and loved in that space who remain to tell its tale, each story more surprising, touching, or heartbreaking than the next. No matter which aspect of the club’s history is being told, it’s always being told with reverence and a reminder that so much of the queer love that bloomed there still lives on today.

-But Why Tho?

An emotionally overpowering documentary.

-The Queer Review

It's the third act that's the most devastating, when the participants recount still-lingering trauma and survivor's guilt from the horrific ravages of AIDS.

- Chicago Reader

The history of Studio One belongs in a museum such as the ONE Archives and this film should run on a loop forever there.

-The Queer Review

Studio One Forever is a love letter to West Hollywood’s gay mecca and a detailed history of the club’s place at the heart of the Los Angeles LGBTQ+ community.

-Cinerama

Through a series of interviews, recollections, and historical analysis Studio One Forever isn’t just a love letter to a temple of gay freedom and dance; it’s an important journey into shared community history, both positive and negative.

-Cinerama

A place where closeted gay men living secret lives could burst through the doors unrestrained, without fear of punishment, and experience a place of acceptance, community and fun.

-Go Weho

A heartwarming, though often heartbreaking, film about an iconic piece of queer history.

-Medium UK
