luminum disagreed with the rating and said:
How can The Celluloid Closet pass the test? It's a commentary-based documentary about films. There are no characters or even actual subjects to demonstrate bias. The diverse commentators discuss the films and show clips from older films in the lens of queer presence in cinema.

If it passes, it's only because they show clips from other movies that would feature two women talking about something other than a man, which is too many degrees away to reflect ont he documentary itself.
