WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Ana Paula Palancares It was so interesting to see my favorite drag queen under this new light. At the end of the film you realize how they grew as Jerick, while Jinkx was taking over the world. The family interviews were very sincere and helped me understand more about how difficult the life of a person born to stand out can be sometimes. I rented this film for 24 hours and watched it six times, I couldn't stop myself. I love Jinkx, so I'm very grateful that Alex Berry wanted to film this documentary and let us fans and anyone who is interested get a glimpse of the life of this very talented, lovely and humble human being. It's always going to be MONSOON SEASON.

irebustini Fascinating documentary. It's mesmerizing the process by which the drag persona comes to life from her artistic creator. It's like the construction of an entity who is very different and have a life on her own but it's still part of the artist who conceptualized her. I also found this documentary very personal and really touching, showing the family dynamics and the interpersonal relationships that evolved with (and influenced, perhaps?) the creation process of Jinkx Monsoon. In the world of entertainment, there are many fascinating ways to engage audiences with suspended disbelief; I think that drag queens and female impersonators take it to the next level, by bringing to life characters that are part of their creator, and part of multiple movie and multimedia influences, and also products of intensive research in social issues that affect GLBT community. Female impersonation is still taboo in many ways in our society, and this documentary helps to break such boundaries and inform the audience.

mayaakbay This documentary, while depicting the life and career of Jinkx Monsoon aka Jerick Hoffer, did an amazing job of portraying the drag scene of Seattle as a whole. I feel that not only drag queens and entertainers from all genres but anyone who has felt a passion and a calling for something can relate to Jinkx's story. I feel that the heard of this documentary was the interviews with Jinkx's family members, as we saw a lot of vulnerability and emotion there. While certain audiences familiar with Jinkx through Rupaul's Drag Race Season 5 have heard Jinkx talk about her family (and especially mom) before, Drag Becomes Him dives into those delicate relationships like never before. The intimate and authentic documentation of events pre-Drag Race and post-Drag Race were captured in a raw, unfiltered manner that allowed the audiences to feel closer to Jinkx and her group of friends. I feel excited to be a part of the drag movement spreading to mainstream media and capturing the attention of larger audiences. Drag performance as an art form has touched the lives of many, and Jinkx Monsoon is a perfect example of that. The art of drag deserves the recognition and respect on a larger scale more than ever. This personal story depicted in Drag Becomes Him represents pursuing your passion against all odds on a universal level. Very touching and inspiring story that had several light-hearted moments that left the audience with a smile on their faces.

whelandesign Such an interesting story about one of the forefront drag queens who really doesn't get enough credit. I saw this doc at Inside Out film festival and really enjoyed the insight to the hard work and dedication Jinkx has put in to become the international performer she is today. It reminded me why I loved Jinx in the first place.It was an honest portrayal of a boy who performs in girls clothes. We so often put queens on a pedestal in the LGBT community (and rightly so) but it is nice to learn a little more about the boy and the thought processes beneath all that make up and corsets. Not to diminish drag race but it was great to get a more personable side to the story of this truly talented team, with out the sensationalist editing.
