Plot

At a birthday party, a group of gay friends are forced into a painful game of truth by an uninvited guest.

Sinekatalog’s take

William Friedkin's adaptation of Mart Crowley's play is sharp, funny and cruel, a landmark of early gay cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
