John Nugent

Empire Magazine

A devastating, urgent reminder that art can be dangerous and important and political and powerful — especially in ten-inch heels.

Rated: 4/5

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

To call Gena a drag artist fails to capture just how subversive and courageous are her public “performances”.

Rated: 4/5

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

[Gena Marvin] is an inspirational figure in a slightly scattergun documentary from the film-maker Agniia Galdanova that spends far too much time analysing why Marvin’s traditionalist Russian grandfather finds drag a bit off-putting.

Rated: 3/5

Pat Mullen

Ben Turner

The Pink Lens

"A remarkable film that weave empowerment with unsettling tension and artistry with pure barbarism. It is by far the most affecting documentary of the year."

Rated: 5/5

Darryl Griffiths

Movie Marker

It is a critical reminder of the power of protest; with a genuinely inspiring figure unfazed in leading the charge. Regarding vital documentaries this year, Queendom may snatch the crown.
