About This Movie

What's a Girl Like You? is a fascinating documentary that takes you right into the heart of London's vibrant drag scene at the Vauxhall Tavern. Directed by Charlie Squires, the film captures the raw energy of the performances and the camaraderie among the performers. There's a certain intimacy here, as you witness both the humor and the vulnerability on stage. The pacing meanders pleasantly, giving you time to soak in the atmosphere, with each act bringing its own flair. The practical effects are minimal but effective, relying mostly on the personas and the makeup, which are truly something to behold. It's really about the characters and their stories—the way they navigate identity and expression is compelling and thought-provoking, making it a distinctive piece of cinema for collectors interested in LGBTQ+ history.
