Leave your thoughts about I Am Divine.
| VarietyPeter DebrugeThe Pink Flamingos star Divine gets her own well-deserved spotlight. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenI Am Divine doesn’t dwell on Milstead’s growing pains. It is an aggressively upbeat show-business success story that focuses on his self-reinvention. |
| KPBS.orgBeth AccomandoThis documentary reminds us of Divine's audacious and unique impact on both film and American culture. It's also a great way to celebrate the talented actor who gave us Divine. |
| Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)John WirtA wonderfully assembled film that depicts Harris Glenn Milstead as a performer, show business trouper and a dear friend to many. It's a divine documentary. |
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachThis is a movie that's really about how much fun Glenn Milstead had being Divine, and how he — perhaps unexpectedly — found so many fans willing to go along for the ride. That's an American success story worth celebrating. |
| Paste MagazineLeland MontgomeryShwarz helps paint a picture of an extraordinary boy who lived so far outside what was considered "normal," he had no choice but to blaze his own trail. |
| Electric SheepLisa WilliamsDespite the sadness, we are reminded of what an influential figure Divine was, and how his very presence continues to bring comfort to others who identify as outsiders. |
| Empire MagazinePatrick PetersTouching and funny. Waters fans should sign up now. |
| The SkinnyLewis PorteousThis documentary mostly looks back on its subject's career as a notorious drag act, with consistently amusing input from the likes of John Waters, Tab Hunter and psychedelic theatre troupe The Cockettes. |
| The ListEmma SimmondsI Am Divine may not be the blowsy riot you'd expect given Divine's salty screen persona but it tells his story with wit, insight and compassion, revealing a rather sweet and sensitive man underneath that sparkling shell. |
