Konterr Brilliant and touching

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

nidgefarky . I think I must have seen a completely different movie from all of the other reviewers as this is quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seenHow on earth you could film it over a period of six years and end up with such a rambling, incoherent series of snapshots is quite beyond me.Lest anyone reading this think it is from some rabid homophobe let me state that I am a gay man, I have lived in the East End, I do consider drag (can be) an art form and I wholeheartedly encourage the human race to seek out alternative lifestyles BUT this just depicts the characters as shallow, self-centered and utterly narcissistic

Tom Dooley New film maker Colin Rothbart brings us a documentary that goes under the sequins and glitter of the East End of London drag scene. It stars many a well known name of that small – yet perfectly formed – circle of performers. Jonny Woo is very much to the forefront as is Scotee and Holestar ('the tranny with the fan – ee').There is film from a few years back and features many a fabulous moment along the way including Glastonbury, the Royal Opera House and the Edinburgh Festival. There is also the story of Gay Bingo. Some of the pieces to camera are nakedly honest and can be quite moving especially the stories of rejection and self destruction in a miasma of drugs and alcohol.The soundtrack is great too – check out 'I can't get the glitter out of the groove' along with some other excellent numbers. I think it is Jonny Woo who says at one point that they may not look to good on the outside but 'inside we are feeling glamorous'. I think that sums it up and drag makes the World a more colourful, vibrant place and long may it and the queens reign – I doff my diamanté tiara to all involved – truly exceptional.

davideo-2 STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning The enigmatic, flamboyant Jonny Woo invites us into the world of him and his contemporaries, in the wild and colourful world of Soho's drag quarter. While older hands, such as him and fellow cross dresser John Sizzle, ponder what to do as the years draw on and they fit the bill less, younger, up and coming sorts, such as Amber, have their own hurdles to overcome. The film follows each of these similar yet distinctly unique characters as they make their presence felt on the scene and fly in the face of those that oppose them.The many outlets of media have certainly been used in recent times to promote equality and celebrate diversity, which only those with some kind of defect would complain about to any great extent. Colin Rothbart's film zooms in on the widely documented and exuberantly colourful world of the drag scene, bringing some of it's characters to life and giving you a feel of who they are and what they're about. While you'll drop your jaw at some of the outrageous antics and get some impression of an 'alternative lifestyle', the film lacks a certain sense of cohesion and fails to form a really effective narrative structure to piece it all together with.It exists in a time of openness and transparency, and is a product of this environment. You will care about the characters very much and enjoy the lifestyle so much you'll want to celebrate it, it's just a shame it couldn't all get put together in a way that keeps your attention focused. ***

Alan Wood I love this film so much! Watching this with a couple of friends a few months ago was so much fun with a few sad moments in the film. It really touched me as I knew a couple of people in the film and the ones i didn't know I felt I connected with them once the film had finished. There are some great scenes from parties, makeup, flying wigs and much more. The film takes you on the ups and down of 6 performers on the London club/drag scene and the personal lives. Dressed as a girl is a great window into the lives of some amazing performers! Go see it for yourself, you will love it!!!
