Princesses

About This Movie

So, 'Princesses' is a fascinating dive into the lives of women who are part of the drag queen scene. It really captures that unique blend of humor and raw emotion that you don't often see in documentaries. The pacing fluctuates—it takes its time to let you absorb the characters’ stories, which gives it a more intimate vibe. The atmosphere is vibrant but also tinged with genuine struggles; the performances feel real, not staged, and the candid moments really shine through. It's distinct in how it showcases not just the glitz and glamour but also the heavy realities these performers face, making it a layered watch. Practical effects aren't the focus here, but the emotional impact? Definitely there.
