But there is an unavoidable warmth and tenderness to the documentary that I happily responded to. Rex is a dynamic performer, and it’s easy to see (especially as someone who rather despises Drag Race) why he became a popular fan-favorite

“Lady Like” and Lady Camden and Rex serve as testaments to the belief that with a lot of talent, hard work and dedication someone can defy the odds and achieve the extraordinary.

Shadows on the Wall

The editing is at odds with the narrative's momentum, circling around and repeating emotional points. So it's entertaining, but never as moving as it wants to be.

Rated: 3/5

Vague Visages

A unique sense of intimacy arguably makes Lady Like the strongest of all the RuPaul’s Drag Race documentaries produced so far, but that doesn’t mean it is flawless in the wider medium.

I absolutely LOVED this movie. I never knew how much engineering, choreography, design, art and everything goes into performing in drag!! I would have LOVED to learn more about Rex’s youth and had a bit more flash back to see the evolution of Lady Camden, but I found the movie so uplifting and inspiring!!
