Wonderful character development!

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This program not only tells the story of a city and neighborhood's growth and evolution, but of the growth and evolution of the gay civil rights movement itself. Beautifully photographed and intelligently written, this is a "must see" for anyone who's wondered why San Francisco is sometimes called a "gay mecca."The producers have included interviews with a diverse group of people... heterosexual, gay and lesbian... most of whom have played important roles in the 20th century history of the Castro.For anyone planning to visit San Francisco, for anyone who thinks they might be gay or lesbian, for anyone who knows they ARE, or for those just wondering about the whole issue... see this program. It will be time well spent."The Castro" captures the spirit of the neighborhood and of individuals seeking equality and freedom.
