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. Rated: 3/5 Nov 11, 2011 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Nov 11, 2011 Full Review Xan Brooks Guardian Benstock's film is affectionate, indulgent and clearly in love with its subject... Rated: 3/5 Nov 10, 2011 Full Review 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 Dec 5, 2018 Full Review 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. Jun 2, 2012 Full Review Graham Young Birmingham Post Simply becomes a series of talking heads like Ruby Wax, interspersed with animated sequences and boring meetings. Rated: 1/5 Dec 8, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
