Critic Reviews
-
Simon Foster, Screen-Space
The gay abandon of the OTT event is covered extensively, to the point where one begins to feel rather wallflower-ish, like being the only one at the party not taking drugs.
-
Graham Young, Birmingham Post
Simply becomes a series of talking heads like Ruby Wax, interspersed with animated sequences and boring meetings.
-
Amber Wilkinson, Eye for Film
Jes Benstock's documentary is a big glittery hug of a celebration.
-
Philip French, Observer [UK]
I enjoyed the film, but I cannot describe the lengths I'd go to or the excuses I'd offer to avoid attending one of these entertainments.
-
Derek Malcolm, This is London
It's a real celebration of camp British eccentricity, and it refutes Logan's assertion that the world has gone totally grey.
