a love story sets in New York between two people from opposite worlds; "Port Authority filmmakers' intentions feel truly genuine and it doesn't feel "for show"
a heartfelt and unexpected love story from the streets of New York City by first-time writer-director Danielle Lessovitz; "Port Authority" is vehement, urgent and sensual; it's not perfect. But it is made with storytelling gusto and heart
"Port Authority" marks a strong debut for Danielle Lessovitz; With "Port Authority", she once again burrows inside a persecuted world without pandering to it, mapping out the subculture while hitting a series of agreeable story beats on schedule
"Port Authority" isn't the most elegant queer romance audiences will see this year, but it's propelled by a pair of terrific performances, and Danielle Lessowitz captures the spirit and energy of the vibrant ball world in a totally fresh way
"Port Authority" is a little fragile in terms of its narrative skeleton, at times tending to idle in place when it ought to be moving forward, but the film's characters and world are drawn with immersive engagement
