The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT (1994) - Jan. 15, 2010
So here we are, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert... did the list steer me wrong? Not really. Though I’m not going to be adding this to my list of favourites anytime soon, I’m definitely glad that I watched it. Weaving, Stamp and Pearce were all really good (not surprisingly), and the film was quite enjoyable throughout, if a bit slow and meandering in parts (though definitely never boring). It pretty much plays out the way you think it will (they have fun, they bond, they occasionally encounter adversity from small-minded bigots, which they overcome) but it was well made and very entertaining. I’m definitely a fan of road movies, and this is more proof that, with very few exceptions, it’s pretty hard to go wrong with that genre.  ***
