I once said to Trixie Mattel, "enjoy the ride" after her appearance on drag race. The look of hurt on her face shocked me and I've regretted saying it ever since. Her reply was ," I created this ride and I'm in control of it." Last night I rented Trixie Mattel's "moving parts" and I'm so thrilled I did! Get ready to jump into the drivers seat. What could easily be self indulgent, is a drag-a-liciously painted portrait of an artist who works non stop in order to live up to his self created flawless media persona and who consistently asks the question, "am I enough". The doc chronicles life on the road of a brassy drag queen , comedian , actor , singer, musician bombshell Barbie or a she calls herself "a thing" who at the end of the day is a sensitive artistic introverted perfectionist. One of the strongest messages of the film is about the ups and downs of loving someone with mental illness when they can't love themselves and the true meaning of friendship. Other themes include growing up as an outsider in a straight mans world, the bright yet sometimes Lonely life of a performer and the responsibility of becoming a gay hero. The film is a touching heartfelt look at a little boy who still plays dress up and used his weirdness to fulfill his dreams . Loved it.

Heartfelt and Beautiful
Brian's true nature and talent really shines in this documentary. He's someone who truly cares for the people in his life and is a true friend. It's so refreshing to see someone in the entertainment industry who is authentic and real. This film follows Trixie through extreme highs and extreme lows and highlights just how strong and beautiful he is. Beautiful inside and out. I was never a fan of drag before I discovered Trixie. Moving Parts is the only film I've ever purchased online and it was worth every penny! If you love Trixie you will love moving parts!
A beautiful behind the scenes of a Gay Icon
Such a lovely and raw insight into the life of one of the most famous drag queens in the world right now. This documentary wasn't glitzy, wasn't glamorous... it was real. We never get to see behind closed doors of a famous drag queen's life, this documentary just gave me such a deeper understanding of Brian's life. It made me see how much he cares for people. I also think it's so great how this documentary allowed us to see the up and down relationship between Trixie and Katya, because whild they're still both incredible on their own, as a pair their chemistry is just undeniably loveable. They're iconic! Seeing a darker side to Katya was really upsetting, but it also just highlights how much the pair have been through together. Really loved this, It's given me a whole load more respect for Trixie Mattel.
