‘The Stroll’ Review: Poignant Tribute Documents Trans Sex Workers in Pre-Gentrified NYC
24.01.2023 - 05:33 / thewrap.com
th Street before gentrification. As a longtime resident explains, “The S&M bars, the hookers, the meatpackers. That’s what was down here.” Yes, it really was home to meatpacking plants by day, before sex workers took over at night.
Many of the latter were trans women of color, and these are the women Lovell and co-director Zackary Drucker (“The Lady and the Dale”) aim to honor.Lovell’s intimate connection to the subject forms the basis of the film’s power, which rests on a palpable pride in sisterhood. Like Lovell herself, most of the women she interviews were young, homeless and had no other way to support themselves when they arrived at the Stroll — their name for the 14th Street stretch they walked and worked. Some stayed on the Stroll for a few years, others for decades.
They were there as early as 1980 and as late as 2010. And they looked out for each other, when absolutely no one else would. As Lovell talks to Egyptt, Cashmere, Ceyenne, Carey, Lady P, Tabytha, and siblings Stephanie and Elizabeth, she draws a portrait of a time and place that is both long gone and still haunting the present.Simultaneously, she and Drucker — aided by archival producer Olivia Streisand — fill out the picture with vivid footage that brings us back to the late 20th century.
Noirish animation from LA shop AWESOME + modest evocatively recreates some of the women’s alternately wry and wrenching stories.But they aren’t the only characters here. The police play a huge role, both as tormentors and customers. And as we move ahead chronologically, mayors Rudy Giuliani and Mike Bloomberg enter the picture as well.
