Federico Furzan Movie-Blogger.com An illuminating exploration of a very brave community. Oct 14, 2024 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com The importance of community is a recurring theme, both family and family of choice is present throughout and there is, as one should expect, remarkable scenes of drama, pain, renewal, and healing throughout Light Up. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film What Lowery is really interested in is the human story that each of these people has to tell. Rated: 3/5 Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Shikhar Verma High on Films Even though the documentary is never able to visually represent the traumas and triumphs of these individuals, it is able to progressively insinuate queerness as a form of expression and self-realization. Rated: 3/5 Oct 1, 2024 Full Review Ronak Kotecha ReviewRon A bold, relevant and unique documentary which gives a face and a voice to the African-American LGBT community Rated: 4/5 Sep 2, 2024 Full Review Bradley Gibson Film Threat The LGBTQ community in Atlanta is vibrant and expansive, and Light Up showcases the city and that community in a respectful light.
