A portrait of five men competing in the Miss Gay America pageant.
Leave your thoughts about Pageant.
| Village VoiceMartin TsaiPageant sorely misses the socioeconomic context of Paris Is Burning, which took seven years to complete. When one of the film's subjects indeed becomes Miss Gay America 2009, Davis and Halpern-Fingerhut's camera has long since stopped rolling. |
| User ReviewRicardo HAhhh, I love a good documentary. 50 drag queens under the same roof? In a competition? Some spending as much as $60,000 to compete? What's not to love about this premise |
| User ReviewJennifer OSuper Documentary. I loved it. It made me appreciate my Drag Queen friends so much more. If you enjoy any kind of pageants, you will certainly be drawn in by the world of the Miss Gay USA pageant. |
| User ReviewAmanda HI found this film absolutely fascinating. I never would have imagined the amount of work that goes into a normal pageant, but then to add to that, the amount of work that goes into being a female impersonator. I have a huge amount of respect for the men in this film. |
| User ReviewTara AThe mother of all drag shows, need I say more. I think I was a drag queen in another life. Wonderful documentary. |
| User ReviewMariana ANot only terribly interesting at face value, but also made my respect for BOTH female and male pageant contestants rise, as I imagine it's highly similar for either. Of course, "gay America" is far more interesting and fun to watch, but also showed a lot of the background stress and efforts that pageants in general share. |
| User ReviewDonnell MInformative, but more important, you really care about the five men the filmmakers followed for that year's Miss Gay America. The little guy who worked at Walt Disney World was my favorite - the unconditional love and friendship he has with his (straight) friend/choreographer Jake just about broke my heart. It was nice to see the support from the various family and friends who took part in the documentary. I was thankful for the entirely positive representation of these men :) |
| User ReviewJessica FA rare and insightful look into the process endured regularly by female impersonators. Some change little but their clothing, while others transform from firmly awkward fixtures in their male personas to beloved born-for-it entertainers in drag. |
| User ReviewDonegal HWhile not a terribly in depth documentary, Pageant is fun and informative and features great interviews. |
| User ReviewAmira JI remember all the sweat and tears I shed back in the day over pageants. Not to mention the many times I lost before finally being crowned. There is nothing like the moment you hear your name being called. It's magical. The performers really gave it there all. Nice ending. |
