Since 1978, Numbers Nightclub has been a home to the underground and LGBTQ communities in Houston, becoming one of the longest running nightclubs in the U.S. From its early days as a gay disco, to its evolution as an alternative music venue, Numbers has showcased such legendary performers as Grace Jones, The Cure, Ministry, Björk, Nine Inch Nails, and many more. Friday I’m In Love is told through the personal connection to Numbers by the film's queer filmmaker (Marcus Pontello), who reveals the club’s history alongside events like the AIDS crisis, police brutality against the LGBT and the rise in hate crimes during the ‘90s.

Expected more
I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
