Entertainment Reviews:
It has all the nuance of a sharpie-scrawled slur on a locker. It's pacing is atrocious with scenes colliding together like drunken brunchers, without grace or intention.

Cartoonish and clichéd.

Times (UK)
Rating: 2/5 --
The movie is tiresome and supercilious almost all of the time, and Lawther's performance is directed with a heavy hand.

Lawther is subtle. The film? Not so much.

London Evening Standard
Rating: 3/5 --
It's good natured and well intentioned, but you end up wishing that Styler's directorial decisions were even half as bold as Billy's wardrobe.

Observer (UK)
Rating: 4/5 --
It may be archly made by first-time feature director Trudie Styler (aka Mrs Sting), but it's also beautifully anchored in another richly detailed, deeply committed performance from Alex Lawther.

It's hear is absolutely in the right place... I wish I liked it more. I found the film itself was very clumsily told.

Product Description:
A flamboyant, cross-dressing teenager (Alex Lawther) is forced to live with his uptight father (Larry Pine) and attend a rigidly traditional high school. He endures taunts and bullying from his peers, and eventually decides to run for homecoming queen against a snobby popular girl (Abigail Breslin). Trudie Styler directed this coming-of-age story, which is adapted from a novel by James St. James. Bette Midler and Laverne Cox co-star.
