New Showbiz Analysis

Robert Greene’s documentary centers on underrepresented voices by breaking down societal norms. It allows complex identities to shape the cultural conversation through performance and ritual. The film excels in giving significant roles to LGBTQ+ individuals, especially trans activists. However, its impact is somewhat limited due to a narrow focus on a specific urban European context, which limits the diversity of racial and ethnic backgrounds.
