Rent Tucked (2018)

A Gem of a Film - Tucked review by CP Customer

Who would have thought that tough guy Derren Nesbitt would pop up years later and play a gem of a role as an ageing drag queen, who takes under her wing a youngster starting his career and in the process comes to terms with his own life.  The film has charm, pathos, humour and sheer stubbornness that makes it a joy to watch!   

A touching miniature - wonderful performances - Tucked review by AER

Fun and bittersweet tale of friendship found in strange places. An ageing female impersonator Jack (DERREN NESBITT) and stand up comedian makes friends with a gender-fluid singer, Faith (JORDAN STEPHENS) at the Brighton revue bar where they both work. When Jack is told that he has 6 weeks left to live, they embark on a mssion to live life to the full and make amends for past mistakes. Sounds a bit soppy but this satin puppy has sharp teeth. Rage against the dying of the light.

The only downside was the misjudged, abrupt ending, and a penchant by the maker for montage sequences to really bad music (that probably took up 10 minutes of the slim running time). It needed to be longer and do these great characters even more better justice. Derren Nesbitt and Jordan Stephens are superb - so good. And there's a lovely cameo by Lucy-Jane Quinlan as an exotic dancer.

Recommended if you like character pieces. Very moving but you may well feel robbed by the lopped off ending.

Tucked deeply in my Heart - Tucked review by porky

I Absolutely Loved this ,Simple yet Very Touching little movie about the last few weeks of an Ageing Drag Performers Life .

A Bucket List and Family to deal with when you've so little time left to do it all.

Great Lead Performance ,should get an Award but will be overlooked due to the Movie's Low Budget and LGBTQ Nature .

Well worth seeing if Drag has any interest for you,But also it is a Touching Reunion of a Father and Estranged Daughter ,A New Friendship and End of Live Journey we can all delight in and feel for .
