Frisky Business

About This Movie

Frisky Business (2023) feels like an eclectic tapestry of narratives woven together, with each short offering its own vibe. You've got this anxious drag queen navigating the chaos of impending exposure, which is played with a blend of humor and raw tension. The pacing is varied, almost erratic at times, but it mirrors the chaos of the characters' lives. The silent duo wandering through a curfewed city adds a layer of surreal intrigue, while the camp segment almost feels like a satirical jab at societal norms. The performances are earnest, especially the lead drag queen, who brings a depth to their anxiety that resonates. It's distinct in its approach to exploring themes of identity and societal pressures, without over-explaining.
