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.
