Marsha P. Johnson was many things: outspoken LGBT activist, downtown superstar, model muse to Andy Warhol. What she never was, her friends and family agree, was suicidal. And yet that’s how the police classified her death when she was found floating in New York’s Hudson River on July 6, 1992. David France’s vibrant, powerful documentary seeks justice for a pivotal figure in queer history from Stonewall on, and a sort of loving resurrection. But the movie is also a vivid portrait of a vanished New York: A grimy, dangerous, riotously colorful place populated by indelible characters like Johnson’s fellow trans trailblazers Sylvia Rivera and Victoria Cruz, both of whom feature heavily.
