Drag Becomes Him

After watching Jinkx win season 5 of RuPaul's Drag Race nearly 6 years after the fact, I stumbled across this film in hopes of just a small glimpse into their life. Oh, how I was surprised! This is a comprehensive documentary that dives into some of the most intimate moments into Jinkx/Jerick's life. Not once did I yawn while watching this eccentric personality unfold before me. No bars are held back.

What's more, the majority of the documentary is shot and told in the PNW, where I have the spent most of my own life. It was quite endearing to see shots of Portland and Seattle, and many of Jinkx's life experiences can attest to the PNW culture.

Overall, great film and this made me even more of a Jinkx fan. Thank you for this documentary!

From a young queen in Portland Oregon, to a Seattle queen, to Americas next drag super star and beyond! It has been a pleasure to watch these events from a distance being part of the community in Portland. Jinx is an amazing artist all around. This film is a beautiful look at who he is at the heart of it all. The honest interviews with his family shine a light on the struggles faced by many and give hope for overcoming some of those struggles. There is a bright future ahead of this amazing artist and getting an intimate look and how he had gotten to this point is a gift that he had given us by opening and sharing his world for all to see.

Genius pure genius amazing performer when I saw jinx monsoon in the first episode on RuPaul's drag race for his season, I said to myself he should be on Broadway. And then he was. The next time I saw Jake's monsoon was on a cruise ship set up by Al &I Chuck Travel, there were 39 other queens from RuPaul's drag race on-board. Jinx brought along his Broadway show and performed in front of 3000 of RuPaul drag queen fans to standing ovation and a couple of encores. If he is performing near you be sure to catch his act.

Thank you for making something REAL. I enjoyed every bit of this Documentary. I just hope he has love touching him. Boyfriend or whatever. Love and Be Loved.

Such an interesting story about one of the forefront drag queens who really doesn't get enough credit.

I saw this doc at Inside Out film festival and really enjoyed the insight to the hard work and dedication Jinkx has put in to become the international performer she is today. It reminded me why I loved Jinx in the first place.

It was an honest portrayal of a boy who performs in girls clothes. We so often put queens on a pedestal in the LGBT community (and rightly so) but it is nice to learn a little more about the boy and the thought processes beneath all that make up and corsets. Not to diminish drag race but it was great to get a more personable side to the story of this truly talented team, with out the sensationalist editing.
