More of a broad overview than an exhaustive history, “No Straight Lines” is nevertheless an enjoyable and informative look at the careers of Alison Bechdel, Howard Cruse, Mary Wings, Rupert Kinnard and Jennifer Camper and their influence on queer comics and the queer comics community.

Fresh storytelling. Fun & poignant story. I knew about Alison Bechdel and the Bechdel Test. The film introduced me to a world I didn't think I'd be interested in. I laughed. I cried.
