Wonderful transition from stage to screen
Just saw it this afternoon at the Nashville Independent Film Festival...was blown away by the storytelling...didn't realize it was semi-autobiographical until movie was over and Leslie Jordan spoke! The warmth and humanity of the characters, good and bad, came through intensely. Great lighting, fabulous score!! Many wonderful character quotes; a very spiritual film experience. Extremely funny and touching.
Loved this Leslie Jordan film
Leslie's real life story unfolds in this amazingly well-done Indy film. If you liked Sordid Lives or Leslie in Will & Grace, you will love this film. Also Erin Chandler (Miss Make Do) is impressive...she is excellent as Leslie's muse! Michelle Phillips is wonderful and there are several other surprise cameos such as John Ritter as the impassioned preacher! It captures the dilemma of being gay not only in the world but in the very judgmental south! Mark Pellegrino plays a gorgeous Tripper! Some feel the piece is dark but it is a very realistic look at homosexuality in the 70's! No wonder this film won several independent film festivals!
