"'Old Lesbians' documentary highlights the importance of recording 'herstory'"

GLAAD
"McDonough skillfully weaves together interviews and archival footage to paint a vivid picture of Eversmeyer’s vision and the collective mission of LOAF: to provide a space for older lesbians to connect, share their stories, and find affirmation in their identities...This truth underscores the challenges these ‘old lesbians faced in finding one’s identity amidst societal silence and stigma. Yet, amidst these struggles, the film doesn’t forget to celebrate moments of love and longing, capturing the essence of queer desire with raw honesty and vulnerability."
