Great Movie!
Really enjoyed this movie. Excellent plot and fantastic footage. Totally worth my time and yours!
A glossy lesbian magazine!
Ahead of the Curve (2020) was directed by Jen Rainin and Rivkah Beth Medow.Franco Stevens is a lesbian woman who had the courage to begin publishing an openly lesbian magazine in 1990.
Previously, lesbian publications were small and more-or-less under the radar. Stevens and her team put the word “lesbian” on the cover of the magazine. Either it would work, or it wouldn’t. It worked.
The movie is full of detail about the struggles, the highs, and the lows of Curve magazine. It also shows us Franco’s physical problems, which she meets with courage but also realism.
We saw this movie at Rochester’s excellent ImageOut LGBTQ Film Festival. The film has a solid IMDb rating of 7.4. I thought it was even better than that, and rated it 9.
