Alex B @RT12347704 11/17/2023 If you've never been exposed to Mrs Vera the opening images can really throw you. You've never seen makeup or fashion like this, even if you're a Hollywood makeup artist or set designer. I have to admit the first image of Mrs. V pushed me back, but I stuck with it, as this is the third film of Robert James I've viewed. Mrs. V's story is told in a linear arc: childhood backstories transitioning to the emerging AIDS crisis in the 1980s, when a popular President and much of the country ignored the afflicted until someone in their community, actor Rock Hudson, passed from the virus. Michael and David's story reminded me in a very poignant way of neighbors who lived through similar circumstances. The AIDS quilt has been covered elsewhere. However seeing the man who inspired it in this film reminds me of how connected the LGBTQ community is. Peaches Christ reminds me of Patton Oswalt in drag and his description of Mrs V's influence on Pride Day fashion, "Drag Anarchy" is spot on. Mrs Vera, recycling fashion maven celebrating life and not letting anything hold you back…including yourself! See more David L @RT66422163 11/03/2023 A wonderful and uplifting film! See more Melissa H @RT10469208 08/30/2023 This documentary celebrates unconditional love. Mrs Vera is a character that promotes healing and embraces looking on the bright side, but at the same time acknowledges that there are lows in life too. There is a Mrs. Vera in all of us, and this heartfelt documentary depicted this in such a creative and authentic way! A must watch! See more Read all reviews
