Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune It's an engrossing peek at an era that now seems as meteoric, crazy and distant as the Roaring Twenties. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 20, 2005 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times The film is full of flamboyant personalities, and they all contribute to the impression that Highberger above all wants to pay tribute to Curtis' brave determination to discover and express his ever-changing identity at all costs. Rated: 3/5 Aug 19, 2004 Full Review Carla Meyer San Francisco Chronicle Fascinating. Rated: 3/4 Aug 6, 2004 Full Review Hartford Courant Rated: 4/4 Oct 6, 2004 Full Review Brent Simon Entertainment Today A vibrant, skin-deep flirt, both refined and tawdry, fabulous and skin deep -- probably a comparison Curtis himself would appreciate. Rated: C+ Aug 23, 2004 Full Review E! Staff E! Online As this entertaining documentary makes clear, the witty, wisecracking, son-of-a-Marine drag queen was an artist in his own right. Rated: B+ Aug 21, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Any man, woman or child who likes glam rock, trashy-on-purpose fashion style, or is gay, a theater actor, or likes Andy Warhol, should see this movie. Jackie was extremely talented, and sources say that Warhol never had an original idea. He got some of them from Jackie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Completely off beat and involving documentary on Jackie Curtis a drag queen who Andy Warhol discovered. The film takes you to people who tell stories that make you feel like you knew him. Jackie was not one of these glamorous Candy Darling female impersonators she was a drag queen. There was never a dull moment and the final scenes were heartbreaking. R.I.P. Jackie Curtis [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b106/hereinmyhead/fetch.jpg[/IMG] "I am not a boy, not a girl, I am not gay, not straight, I am not a drag queen, not a transsexual - I am just me, Jackie."
