As an ordinary coming-of-age drama, Stonewall is merely dull and scattered -- but as an attempt to depict a pivotal moment in American history, it's offensively bad.

Stonewall is a movie about a pivotal moment in LGBT history as filtered through the perspective of a fictional hunk of Wonder Bread named Danny who steps off a bus from Indiana and right into a central role in the Christopher Street scene. Nov 10, 2015

The Stonewall Riots were a triumph for a marginalized community, but Emmerich fails to convey the significance of the event in any meaningful fashion. The subject matter deserves better, and so do we. Sep 28, 2015 | Rating: D | Full Review…

It's a self-financed passion project, from a man who might be the most financially successful out gay filmmaker ever. We should be celebrating this, but man, oh man, does he make it difficult. Sep 25, 2015 | Full Review…

Although handsomely crafted, well-acted and made with transparently noble intentions, Roland Emmerich's "Stonewall" is a movie that seems destined to please almost no one. Sep 25, 2015 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Danny isn't all that interesting. And the sadder fact is that the filmmakers seem to know that, but worry an audience won't identify with a more flamboyant character. So they present this safer, paler alternative. Sep 25, 2015 | Rating: 1.5/4

There may be a good movie to be made about the Stonewall riots, which triggered much of the gay power movement in 1970, but "Stonewall" isn't it. Sep 25, 2015 | Rating: C- | Full Review…

Stonewall looks like a bargain-bin musical adaptation, not a tribute to a gay activism triumph. Mar 4, 2019 | Rating: 3/10 | Full Review…

The highly anticipated/dreaded foray into the birth of the contemporary gay rights movement from director Roland Emmerich reduces this watershed civil rights moment to a tepid coming-out fable. Aug 22, 2018 | Full Review…

[Roland Emmerich's] heart's in the right place, but the director of "Independence Day" is perhaps not the best person to capture the gritty and multi-racial reality of street life, then or now. Feb 15, 2018 | Full Review…

That such a canny manipulator of audiences could grind out a melodrama so grating and clichéd is hard to imagine. Oct 10, 2017 | Full Review…

Whatever else it should be, a big-screen movie about the contemporary landmark of the LGBT civil rights movement shouldn't be this lackluster. Sep 27, 2017 | Full Review…

A wooden script, bad lines delivered by amateurish actors, bizarre plot choices, and a set that some have said bears less resemblance to Christopher Street circa 1969 than Sesame Street or the Land of Oz. Jul 13, 2017 | Full Review…
