Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

lasttimeisaw KINKY BOOTS has become a Broadway sensation in 2013 with music and lyrics from Cyndi Lauper, while this original film is equally brilliant with a broad message of self-affirmation. Directed by Julian Jarrold (BECOMING JANE 2007, 7/10), it is another old-fashioned uplifting adult fairytale from UK, such as CALENDAR GIRLS (2003, 7/10), and THE FULL MONTY (1997), both exploit on the prudish nudity, but this film, based on a true event, is about a shoe factory owner Charlie (Edgerton) saves his family business by finding a niche market to design kinky boots for drag queens, with the help of a black transvestite Lola (Ejiofor), the story itself sounds outlandish, but the film is a thorough bliss to watch. Chiwetel Ejiofor is my current BEST ACTOR winner in 2013 for 12 YEARS A SLAVE (2013, 9/10), and this is another spectacular performance in his résumé, his boxer physique and deep voice do not deter his transformation into Lola, a flamboyant cabaret singer, covered with heavy make-up and kitschy costume, but Ejiofor siphons Lola's vulnerability and sensitivity perfectly on the screen out of her ostentatious stage flair, which gives enormous warmth to keep the film afloat, in spite of many standard clichés about provincial prejudice towards the trans-gender minority and a bitch-faced girlfriend who will ultimately cheat on our protagonist. Edgerton's Charlie, is a traditional guy, craves for a normal family life and worries about that he could not live up to his father's expectation, his self-affirmation remedy is inspired by Lola but the film doesn't shy away from his own bias as well although the over-heightened drama between him and Lola does merely serve as a plot device rather than a sincere catharsis. Nick Frost and Linda Bassett play two among several working-class laborers in the factory, the former is basically for comic relief and the latter is devised to express her feistiness occasionally. Potts' Lauren is the good gal always standing behind the man's back and Rooper's Nicola is the unsupportive girlfriend with a uncomely bob hairdo.Narrative aside, the musical rendition from Lola steals the limelight every time, Ejiofor's voice is a bit too blunt and in lack of variety, but his diva aura is second to none. Cleverly and intentionally, Jarrold blurs the line of Lola's sexuality, we are in the era of non- discrimination of one's sexuality, so it doesn't matter in any rate, the film is a fairly accomplished musical, balanced with both drama and comedy elements, it is also a small picture with a big heart, terrifically accessible to audience, neither cringing-worthy nor patronizing, this alone, is worth the good words-of-mouth and a two-thumbs-up.

vaibhav-brid Kinky boots is a movie about hope, inspiration, accepting that is sometimes hard to accept. Watching this in 2014 just makes me think how many incredible movies do not really make it to big screen. The movie is one of the best works of both Chiwetel Ejiofor and Joel Edgerton. The song selection is just one of the best. 70s was the best time ever I think for pop and many other music genre. I am just thankful to Netflix for taking this movie else a good movie would have slipped by me.If you have not watched this one yet, you are missing a great feel good feel movie. Go rent it, stream it whatever you need to do, but watch it.10/10 for making my evening better!

dparan Chiwetel carries this film with the grace and presence of an all star. My goodness, this guy is brilliant as a drag queen. Although I've watched him in many films, he never stood out to me as a great actor, mainly due to my own dimwittedness. He's an amazing character actor and the subtleties, the persona and the over the moment were performed to perfection. This is a film that uses a standard formula, lets get that straight. Business is poor, an unlikely hero comes into the picture, takes up the challenge, loses what he's holding onto, grows out of his own skin and brings the business back to it's feet. We've seen a hundred or more films like this. But why should using a standard formula be a cause for disliking a film? It shouldn't. Its a formula and the question should lie in how it was executed. Well casted, well scripted, well directed and well edited.This film has my vote.

Ben Larson This quirky little film would be entirely enjoyable on its own. The story of the man who was not adept at his family business inheriting and saving the day with the assistance of the transvestite/drag queen, and winning the girl would be enough to satisfy the most ardent movie goer.But Kinky Boots was so much more. Joel Edgerton (Smokin' Aces) as Charlie Price was super as the son who inherited the family business. Expected to sell by his partner Nicola, played ably by Jemima Rooper (The Black Dahlia), Charlie came to realize that the fate of many people was in his hands. A solution fell into his lap and with grit and determination he risked everything to save the day.As Kipling said, "If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!"Charlie risked it all. He didn't lose, but he could have. I think Kipling would have rated him a man. What's more, since he risked it all for his workers, not himself, he is a great man.Chiwetel Ejiofor (Love Actually, Four Brothers, Children of Men) was Lola, who really made this film. He/she was brilliant as the creative genius behind the Kinky Boots factory. Lola was also a multi-faceted character that changed minds and hearts. Besides that, she could sing!Sarah-Jane Potts (National Lampoons Barely Legal, Felicity) was Lauren, the real prize for Charlie.It was also interesting to see show manufacturing in the film. I doubt if there are any more in the US, so we would have to go overseas or to a movie to see it. This film was based on a true story.
