Rock Bottom: Gay Men and Meth
Review by Melissa Anderson, Time Out New York / Issue 596: March
1–7, 2007
I remember the days when the bathhouses used to be fun and weren’t
filled with people whacked-out on crystal,” rails one indignant
drag queen in Jay Corcoran’s alarming, if too lean, doc. Seven
men in various stages of addiction or recovery from tina recall
losing jobs, punching boyfriends and bingeing on barebacking, while
mental-health professionals attempt to elucidate the reasons behind
such self-destructive behavior. If silence = meth, as posters in
Chelsea remind us, then Corcoran’s film at least serves as
an ice breaker.
