Queen of New York is this fascinating blend of comedy and documentary that really captures the essence of post-pandemic NYC. Marti Cummings is a vibrant and unapologetic presence, and their journey into politics is both hilarious and poignant. The pacing has this nice ebb and flow, oscillating between heartfelt moments and laugh-out-loud scenes. The film doesn't shy away from the messy realities of campaigning, making it feel grounded despite the glitter and glam of drag culture. There's a distinct atmosphere of resilience, showcasing the determination of not just Marti, but the community around them. Plus, the performances are just so wonderfully layered – you see the struggle, the humor, and the heart all at once. It’s a slice of life that’s as chaotic as it is inspiring.
