Everybody's Talking About Jamie

The film is an uplifting, poignant adaptation of a show whose core is finding the confidence.

The beauty of this movie-musical is unmatched, and I loved seeing the characters from the musical come to life on screen.

For all that Everybody's Talking About Jamie might not be the very best version of itself, it is still a fun watch. A feeling of joy radiates off it, most notably in the catchy musical numbers.

An oft-fun, intermittently moving adaptation of the West End musical, which itself is a takeoff on a doc about a high-school lad who ignored taunts from his peers and a cold-shouldering by his dad, to become a spangled drag queen with Wizard of Oz pumps.

This amiable adaptation of the West End musical, itself inspired by a British TV documentary, embraces the theatricality of its source material, then adds some bright colors and widescreen flourishes.
