I love Polish film. They make by movies Poles for Poles. There are many better movies about LGBTQ characters but this movies must be watched to see how the subject is portrayed in conservative Roman Catholic Poland. "Loretta" must travel to Paris to come out of the closet which shows right at the start Poland's lack of acceptance of LGBTQ persons. Loretta's return ultimately becomes warm and polite after the initial coldness and rejection.
As a pioneering effort in LGBTQ movies, Queen has flaws aplenty. The recovery of both "Loretta" and Wioletta from the kidney transplant is too swift. Another obvious example is that "Loretta" is not a very good drag queen. The charm of drag shows is the exaggerated movements of men imitating women. See Priscilla Queen of the Desert for drag done properly.
Despite the flaws, Queen is worth seeing as a feelgood movie without any gratuitous car chases.
