Between a Frock and a Hard Place
This is the story behind one of the world’s most loved films; about three unlikely Australian hero-(ine)s daring to step up from the shadows in their shimmering sequined glory and be counted. It’s the story of how a low-budget Australian film about three drag queens changed the course of history and loudly and proudly brought a celebration of gay culture to the world that continues to resonate twenty years on.

Pretty Good
Brilliant and touching
There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Fun. Brutally honest. Three ostensibly straight guys, (one eventually) willing to take the unfamiliar role of a drag queen, and one transgender at that. YEARS after making the awesome, fabulous film "Priscilla", Pearce, Stamp, and Weaving talk about making the film, and how they prepared for it. In addition, we hear from the author, Stephan Elliott, and even the actual guy who had a kid, like Tick in the film. Some behind the scenes stuff, mixed in with the gay history, in australia, and how it connected to the history in cities like san francisco. Ups and downs. Mostly fun and lightweight, they do include the beginning of the HIV/Aids years, and how it affected the community. Directed by Barry and Clarke. Looks like they have done numerous documentaries together. So fun. many thumbs up. Currently showing on Tribeca channel.
