Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune 01/20/2005
2.5/4
It's an engrossing peek at an era that now seems as meteoric, crazy and distant as the Roaring Twenties. Go to Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times 08/19/2004
3/5
The film is full of flamboyant personalities, and they all contribute to the impression that Highberger above all wants to pay tribute to Curtis' brave determination to discover and express his ever-changing identity at all costs. Go to Full Review Carla Meyer San Francisco Chronicle 08/06/2004

A vibrant, skin-deep flirt, both refined and tawdry, fabulous and skin deep -- probably a comparison Curtis himself would appreciate. Go to Full Review E! Staff E! Online 08/21/2004

10/17/2008 Any man, woman or child who likes glam rock, trashy-on-purpose fashion style, or is gay, a theater actor, or likes Andy Warhol, should see this movie. Jackie was extremely talented, and sources say that Warhol never had an original idea. He got some of them from Jackie. See more 11/11/2007 Completely off beat and involving documentary on Jackie Curtis a drag queen who Andy Warhol discovered. The film takes you to people who tell stories that make you feel like you knew him. Jackie was not one of these glamorous Candy Darling female impersonators she was a drag queen. There was never a dull moment and the final scenes were heartbreaking. R.I.P. Jackie Curtis [IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b106/hereinmyhead/fetch.jpg[/IMG] "I am not a boy, not a girl, I am not gay, not straight, I am not a drag queen, not a transsexual - I am just me, Jackie."
