Trixie Mattel: Moving Parts

I love (almost) everything Trixie does. I love everything Trixie and Katya do as well! That being said, I wasn't expecting much with this film and I got a lot more out of it. I think it's supposed to be a look into Trixie's life as a performer but as others described, it was sad and somber. I felt like the movie shed light on how Trixie is a martyr in her day to day life... for her family, fans, and even friendships. It wasn't this campy high glam production that I was expecting but I'm pleasantly surprised. It was a bit boring at times but it the whole situation with Katya, her mom, and retelling her trauma just broke my heart. I had to take a break midway because it reminded me so much of my friends and family.

Brian's true nature and talent really shines in this documentary. He's someone who truly cares for the people in his life and is a true friend. It's so refreshing to see someone in the entertainment industry who is authentic and real. This film follows Trixie through extreme highs and extreme lows and highlights just how strong and beautiful he is. Beautiful inside and out. I was never a fan of drag before I discovered Trixie. Moving Parts is the only film I've ever purchased online and it was worth every penny! If you love Trixie you will love moving parts!

Such a great, intimate look behind the make-up. A raw and personal doco highlighting the importance of keeping a check on our own, and other's mental health. Watching Trixie in all her Barbie technicolour fabulousity travel America while so much goes on makes this an amazing watch.
