Amherst (1984) feels like a nostalgic trip back to a time when being different required a certain toughness. The grainy Super 8 footage gives it this almost intimate home movie vibe, which really sets the tone for a personal story of escape and resilience. It's not polished, but that raw quality draws you in, making the struggle feel real and relatable. The pacing is reflective, allowing the viewer to soak in the quiet yet profound moments of growing up gay in a conservative setting. The interviews and anecdotes are layered, capturing both the humor and sorrow of those experiences. It’s distinctive for its honest portrayal of survival—something you don’t often see in documentaries from that era.
