The End of Cruising

About This Movie

So, 'The End of Cruising' dives into this fascinating and often misunderstood world of gay male cruising. The film, while lacking a big-name director, really captures the raw essence of public sex and how societal norms have reshaped it over time. It feels like a sort of oral history, stitching together personal anecdotes and archival footage. There's a stark but reflective tone that lingers throughout, making you ponder the evolution of intimacy in public spaces. The pacing is uneven, which can be jarring but it somehow fits the documentary's subject matter. Not really about sensationalism, but more about understanding a subculture that has seen so much change – definitely has a distinct vibe that’s worth exploring.
