Kinky Boots

Kinky BootsI don’t have anything particularly brilliant to say about Kinky Boots, except that it’s a feel-good movie with some great performances. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. And along the way to the feel-good ending, you may have an insight or two about what it means to be a man.

The film was released in 2005 by Miramax; it was nominated for a Golden Globe. It tells a story loosely based on Divine, the Kinky Boot factory in Northampton.

Chiwetel Ejiofor’s performance as Lola is just flat-out charming. Now I’m going to have to watch Talk to Me. And maybe even American Gangster.
