Trixie Mattel: Moving Parts

This was a wonderful documentary. It provides great insight into the behind the scenes of the drag world. A lot of its insights probably ring true in other preforming arts and/or Hollywood industries in honestly. What hit me hardest was the interpersonal struggles Trixie and Katya went through. I've had a very similar situation with a good friend of mine and watching this hit hard. But at the same time watching other people work through something like this was so amazing and so comforting. We all think we're alone in our struggles but we're not. There's always someone who's been through it too. Overall, doc was great. When it was over I cried and texted my friends to tell them I loved them. Overall, if you like drag and feeling very bittersweet about life, give it a watch! I doubt you'll regret it.

I rarely enjoy documentaries, but "Trixie Mattel: Moving Parts" was an exceptional experience that truly captivated me. When I think of Trixie Mattel, I usually picture her vibrant drag persona, and I often overlook the other aspects of her life and origins. This documentary provided a fascinating and deeply personal insight into the life of Trixie and the person behind the persona, Brian Firkus.

Watching Trixie's journey to success was truly heartwarming, especially knowing the challenges Brian faced along the way. The documentary delves into his struggles and triumphs, revealing the determination and resilience that propelled him to stardom. "Moving Parts" offers a glimpse into that arduous journey, capturing both the wild and emotional aspects of his rise to fame.

One of the most striking elements of the documentary is how it portrays Brian's vulnerability and humanity. Seeing him navigate personal and professional hurdles adds a layer of depth to the persona we see on stage. It's a reminder that behind the glitz and glamour of drag performance, there is a real person with a unique story.

I also want to commend the editors for their outstanding work. The documentary is polished and well-crafted, with exceptional editing that enhances the storytelling. The visuals are crisp and engaging, and the pacing keeps the viewer invested from start to finish. The high production value adds a great deal to the overall impact of the documentary, bringing out Trixie's personality in a new light and making the narrative even more compelling.

"Moving Parts" is not just a documentary for fans of Trixie Mattel; it's a powerful story of perseverance, creativity, and the human spirit. It offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the challenges and joys of a beloved performer, making it a must-watch for anyone interested in the world of drag or the journey of self-made success.

I wholeheartedly recommend this documentary to anyone looking for an inspiring and entertaining watch. "Trixie Mattel: Moving Parts" is a moving and unforgettable experience that stays with you long after the credits roll.

Along with giving you a no holds barred insight into the performer behind Trixie Mattel, this film truly gives a someone with no knowledge of drag a better understanding of the world of drag today. Also on the base level it shows a performer hitting major milestones in their career whilst having to deal with hardships in their personal life. I really loved this film and have returned to it several times since first watching it. I would recommend it for anyone to watch!!

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.

It is always nice to find out a person's personal story; Family one being such case in this documentary. The remainder of documentary brings very little new. On and off viewers of RPDR already aware of large majority shown here of Katya problematic.

Trixie's off color humor is top three for me of RPDR queens gunning for Bianca Del Rio status. I am not a fan of Trixie's music genre heavily profiled here. Mad props for charting well with it, Have that talent to fall back on if needed. PS. I won't say who that appears in this documentary, but her doc is a must! 6/10
