From The Advocate: “In 1968, the film was mocked by straight critics and vilified in the lesbian press, but those harsh judgments reflected the attitudes of the time. From the perspective of 2015, The Killing of Sister George is both a fascinating chronicle of lesbian London in the swinging ’60s and a bracing reminder of how hard it has always been to live an openly gay life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
