The movie was produced by Jen Gatien, its subject's daughter, so its agenda should be fairly obvious. But it's an engrossing story nonetheless. October 13, 2011 | Full Review…

Depending on your age, Limelight could make you nostalgic for those bad old days - and sort of glad you'll never be able to relive them. October 13, 2011 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Watching Limelight, about the rise and politically engineered fall of onetime Manhattan nightclub kingpin Peter Gatien, is like looking through a family album: If you're in the family, you might be interested. September 24, 2011

Gatien's story is worth telling. Which makes it all the more unfortunate that director Billy Corben presents it in such a methodical fashion. September 23, 2011 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

This documentary film about the rise and fall of big nightclubs is a cautionary tale about the abuses of police power as well as a tale of two completely conflicting conservative political policies relating to the regulation of businesses. February 2, 2012 | Rating: B | Full Review…

[VIDEO] You can't relive the heady days and nights of Manhattan's club scene, but you can soak up some of the flavor. You'll also get a crash course in the city's muscle of political corruption that seems to increase with every passing year. September 23, 2011 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…
