Serious balletomanes will find much to appreciate here; people who delight in seeing the form lampooned will find more. These guys (among whom are three married couples) are gorgeous dancers, respectful of ballet’s 400-year-old tradition; they’re brash and funny, they’re changing the world, and they have power to spare.

Cinéma vérité documentary celebrating the famous drag ballet troupe, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, founded over 40 years ago in the wake of the Stonewall Riots. The film combines behind-the-scenes footage and interviews centered around the individual dancers to give a holistic and celebratory view of this historic group.

What are critics saying?
Los Angeles Times by Gary Goldstein
A delightful, embracing cultural experience.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
The cinematography isn’t the greatest, and the structure is hit or miss, but so what? In a movie this good natured, the heart is everything. The performances are hilarious, but the dancing is no joke.
The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore
Less performance-centric than it might have been, the straightforward documentary consists largely of talking-head testimonials and interviews with current Trockadero members about how they spend their too-brief time offstage.
