At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

I liked "Folsom Forever." I'm glad to see such a cultural event of such importance to the leather / fetish / SM / kink communities get such a treatment. I think the film well conveyed the importance of the event, its history, and the people involved with both putting the event on and those who enjoy attending it.The history of the Folsom Street Festival was well done and well handled. It was good to know the background of it all and why it came to have such importance for that neighborhood - a place deemed "blighted" and thus only worthy of being completely torn down for urban renewal. 'Twas the gay leatherfolk who effectively prevented that and, eventually, turned it into the vibrant place it is today.There were some technical aspects of the film which let it down a bit. Chief among these was that the sound quality was surprisingly poor for all the interviews - outdoor and indoor alike. Still though, I think the overall content and overall treatment of the subject matter well outweighs these minor technical shortcomings.This was an excellent treatment of the Folsom Street Festival and is a worthwhile watch for anyone who's been there, anyone thinking of going, and even for folks who are just curious as to what it is all about.
