Secret Admirer is quite an intriguing documentary that captures a unique slice of life. It melds personal storytelling with the world of drag kings, specifically focusing on TuffNStuff, who's the last of the Delta drag kings. The tone feels intimate and genuine, almost like you're peeking into someone's diary. The pacing is slow but deliberate, giving you time to absorb the nuances of the relationship between the filmmaker and her partner. One thing that stands out is the rawness of the performances; you can really feel their passion and struggles. Practical effects are minimal, but the real-life moments are what makes it distinctive, providing a heartfelt glimpse into love and identity in a vibrant but often overlooked subculture.
