Fabulous

About This Movie

Fabulous dives into the world of ballroom culture through the lens of Ninja, a performer whose energy and charisma light up the stage. While she’s a global figure, her roots in French Guyana remain largely unexplored. The documentary captures her journey back home, where she’s not only teaching a workshop but also confronting her own identity and the cultural nuances of her upbringing. The pacing has this almost poetic quality, blending vibrant performance footage with intimate personal reflections. You can feel the juxtaposition of local and international ballroom scenes, and the way the film celebrates authenticity is striking. Audrey Jean-Baptiste’s direction gives it a raw, unfiltered vibe that really resonates.
