Our take

Eulogizing the vivacious drag icon and John Waters muse, I Am Divine is a fun portrait of an actor whose subversively vulgar work appalled and entertained in equal measure. Through glorious archival footage, Divine is among the interviewees in this documentary showing the art that goes into trash.
