Review of Fame (1978) by Alec B — 11 Nov 2018

The movie is way too overstuffed to be an effective examination of these kids (on top of covering four years, the movie has so many characters you barely get a chance to learn all their names) and whenever the movie tries to be realistic in one scene it often swings wildly to an after-school special plot in the next.

Also, I know this came out in 1980 but I refuse to believe that at this school there would only be one gay kid.
