I thought this movie was a great idea. Catching up with Wigstock as it was making a come back after all this time. Such a good idea.
The clips at the beginning were really great showing the drag scene in new York in the 80s. It made you want to be there you could feel the electric energy from the amazing clips.
Then it kinda starts to go of the tracks. This doc has so much going on that it spreads it's self very thin. It has the vintage clips, planing wigstock, random interviews and more and it doesn't really focus in on Wigstock which is what I wanted I guess.
However I will say it was interesting seeing how the bar scene/non drag race queens have been affected by RuPaul's Drag Race. But this was only mentioned briefly as it was fighting against everything else.
The actual Wigstock performances are only in the last 20 minutes and a lot of them are relegated to montages. I wish it had took more notes from Wigstock: The Movie. The performances are fabulous and it would have been great to see more.
Definitely watch it. It's interesting and has great performances. I would watch Wigstock: The Movie first so you can see the change in time for your self.
