"Stop waiting for permission for you to be you"
I was lucky to catch the stage performance of this in London and I have to say, this theatrical adaptation manages to take the spirit of the west end and transport it onto the screen. All the right bits were updated, an emotional new song added, great performances and mix of drama and musical. - nlsteven-attheMovies - 4 November 2021
Inner Beauty
Max Harwood delivers a standout debut performance in this camp coming-of-age musical, which features dazzling musical numbers, great costumes and set designs and an over-the-top drag queen performance by the wonderful Richard E. Grant. I could do with less of the gay clichéd themes - they are cringey.
