Carla Hay Culture Mix 07/12/2020
A lot of people might think that a documentary about a drag queen would have a lot of histrionics from the star of the movie. But Trixie does not fall into the stereotype of being a hysterical drama queen. Go to Full Review
Rafa Sales Ross Film Inquiry 05/04/2020
Trixie Mattel: Moving Parts is a raw, at times agonizing portrait of the contemporary reality show celebrity and the consequential disconnection it creates between person and persona. Go to Full Review
Brett White Decider 12/10/2019
This is an essential watch for everyone that loves docs that explore the creative process and, honestly, the struggle of being a person on Earth. Go to Full Review
Matt Shiverdecker Austin American-Statesman 08/28/2019
"Trixie Mattel: Moving Parts" filters the drag queen's occasionally twisted comedy through a lens of pure honesty and melancholy. It will satisfy existing Trixie Mattel fans while also serving as a solid introduction for any latecomers. Go to Full Review

02/21/2022 Just quiet and heartbreaking and so intimate. Beautiful. See more 07/31/2021 A must watch for any Drag Race fan. See more 12/04/2020 It is a look behind the curtain of a famous drag queen, but I found myself on the fence about Trixie after watching it. The documentary never really accomplishes much in the long run but exposes the Drag Race Show on how the finale was filmed as well as paints the Trixie in a more negative light than an inspiring figure or someone to root for See more 04/01/2020 This is an amazing look into the world of Trixie Mattel... Funny, heart warming and a raw look behind the scenes to one of the best Drag Queens out there! See more 03/29/2020 Trixie has a unique talent of cushioning raw storytelling with lightning quick wit, meaning most of the time you're sat there half teared up while you roar with laughter. It's a compelling docufilm of comedy, tragedy and success, in their many life forms. I only intended to watch the first 30 minutes before bed and ended up watching the whole thing. It's wonderful. See more 03/28/2020 Earnest and touching throughout, Moving Parts is a film that will most certainly satisfy fans, but will likely surprise and entertain even a casual viewer. It's musings on addiction, fame, friendship, abuse, and ultimately a trajectory to happiness ground this documentary with a sense of purpose, while Trixie's signature brand of humor, and the behind the scenes candor of her fellow drag contemporaries lend a levity and occasional sardonic wit to the endeavor which we've come to expect from our best drag entertainers. Trixie is the wizard of Oz, even when the curtain is pulled back to reveal the real identity, it turns out the advice is just as good, if not better, blemishes and all. See more Read all reviews
