A case of good intentions marred by slipshod execution, the new Canadian drama Queen Tut lands with a kind of disheartening thud.

2/5

Vibrant, colourful and full of sparkles, this is a drag film that looks the part. But go beyond the rhinestones and sequins and you’re left with a pedestrian narrative and a clutch of limp characters.

Queen Tut is an uplifting film, a coming-of-age drama with heart, humor and a real sense of pride.

4/5

It's a thoughtful exploration of immigration, religion, commerce and sexuality, packed with beautiful moments that craft a remarkably involving depiction of a young man who finds himself in that space between who he is and who others want him to be.

Coupled with humour and emotionally driven moments, Queen Tut serves the Queer community a unique perspective while working its heartwarming, universal narrative.

Shot in Toronto's Gay Village is a heartwarming and inspiring dramedy about connection, family, and friendship, Alexandra Billings, a multi-award-winning film and theatre actor is especially magnetic.
