The director did an uncannily respectable job amalgamating all the Nelson Sullivan footage and bringing together a survey of the vast history that is Wigstock and NYC.
Unfortunately, the pandering to the Brooklyn PC scene fell flat, and was a turn off. I don't know why stabbing yourself with a needle full of hormones on stage without medical help (as openly admitted) is "art". It's not.
Nor do I see why this one-trick person was given so much airtime, a boring Lena Dunham parody. Finally, I cannot fathom how, if you are transitioning M to F, why parading around naked with your bits hanging out, in front of children no less, is entertaining or anywhere near appropriate.
I, for one, would have liked to lose all the Brooklyn stuff (make your own movie) and lengthen the fantastic actual Wigstock performances that were too quick cut.
