Andrew Logan takes people inside the Alternative Miss World Show.

Derek Malcolm

London Evening Standard

It's a real celebration of camp British eccentricity, and it refutes Logan's assertion that the world has gone totally grey.

Benstock's film is affectionate, indulgent and clearly in love with its subject...

Holly Cooper

CineVue

It never feels like a private party for the elite and well-connected, Benstock emphasising that it is an inclusive, non-judgemental space in which anyone can participate.

Rated: 4/5

Simon Foster

Screen-Space

The gay abandon of the OTT event is covered extensively, to the point where one begins to feel rather wallflower-ish, like being the only one at the party not taking drugs.

Graham Young

Birmingham Post

Simply becomes a series of talking heads like Ruby Wax, interspersed with animated sequences and boring meetings.
