Reviews
This proved to be quite an engaging look at an ageing drag artiste (Derren Nesbitt) and a young, aspiring one (Jordan Stephens) - how they become friends and deal with terminal illness and reconciliation. It is clearly done on a budget and the drag stage scenes seem to rehash jokes that were popular while Noah was building his Ark. Both leads are good, though, and it is not overbearingly sentimental. Not a complaint I usually make, but this is a little too short. The ending is upon us without us really having had too much opportunity to develop the characters more. Worth watching but don't expect too much.
