Synopsis

'Tucked' tells the story of two drag queens who form an unlikely intimate friendship. The film is set in a club in Brighton where 83 year old drag queen Jackie works as entertainment. When a younger inexperienced drag queen, Faith, joins the club, he is inspired by Jackie's bravery and strength, and becomes keen to learn from the older man. The doctor tells Jackie that he only has 6 weeks left to live, due to an irreversible illness, but Jackie decides to enjoy his last few moments on earth and help Faith. He used to be married but his wife left him due to this unusual hobby. He also has a daughter, but he has lost contact with her. Faith encourages the old man to seek out his lost daughter, and in turn Jackie helps Faith to accept himself after having been rejected by his family. In this way, the two form a strange yet precious friendship.

  • 8.0 CriticJennie Kermode An odd couple tale with a lot of heart, Tucked is a real charmer, a celebration of growing old disgracefully and a celebration of how society has changed for the better. Read
  • The Hollywood ReporterStephen Farber The interaction of these two unique characters gives the movie both wit and pathos. Read
  • IndiewireJude Dry This feel-good comedy uses a cross-generational queer friendship to explore the nuances of gender in the drag world. Read
