Review of Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971) by Peter F — 29 Jul 2012

Released in 1971, Sunday, Bloody Sunday was certainly a marvel for it's time, due to it's attitude towards sexual politics. Not only did it center on a polygamous relationship, but it did not depict homosexual characters in a demeaning or stereotypical fashion.

It's almost an unbelievable concept that Sunday, Bloody Sunday was made at all, no less a financial success. Unfortunately, the storytelling isn't quite as refined as the film's subject matter, as the film has issues with momentum, and it ends somewhat on a whimper.

At it's best though, the movie is suitably sad and provocative, and holds a very integral place in queer cinema history.
