Name a better drag movie. I dare you 💅🏻

this is my favorite queen movie, not only is it realistically acted, but it's touching and at times hilarious.

Fkn genius ! Terence Stamp playing the old queen is a Fkn legend in this movie should have won the academy!

Although it leans to the stereotypes, it is quite fun and entertaining. Plus I never thought I would see Hugo Weaving in this kind of role.

If you can deal with stereotype gays it’s very watchable and upbeat

ping pong ball scene had a deep effect on me that shocked me to my core i haven’t been able to sleep since

I just love how this movie is about joy and finding happiness. And being happy.

Funny in parts, really good cast chemistry, great LGBT+ representation, bogged down a bit by pacing

The chemistry between the three leads is phenomenal. It's culturally ahead of its time. Iconic cinematography, soundtrack and message.
