I once said to Trixie Mattel, "enjoy the ride" after her appearance on drag race. The look of hurt on her face shocked me and I've regretted saying it ever since. Her reply was ," I created this ride and I'm in control of it."

Last night I rented Trixie Mattel's "moving parts" and I'm so thrilled I did! Get ready to jump into the drivers seat.

What could easily be self indulgent, is a drag-a-liciously painted portrait of an artist who works non stop in order to live up to his self created flawless media persona and who consistently asks the question, "am I enough".

The doc chronicles life on the road of a brassy drag queen , comedian , actor , singer, musician bombshell Barbie or a she calls herself "a thing" who at the end of the day is a sensitive artistic introverted perfectionist.

One of the strongest messages of the film is about the ups and downs of loving someone with mental illness when they can't love themselves and the true meaning of friendship.

Other themes include growing up as an outsider in a straight mans world, the bright yet sometimes Lonely life of a performer and the responsibility of becoming a gay hero.

The film is a touching heartfelt look at a little boy who still plays dress up and used his weirdness to fulfill his dreams .

Loved it.

Film sets this mood throughout like devoid of glam, like it's all normal, ups and downs in career and friendship are no big deal, just projecting the total opposite of the celebratory, standing up for something kinda nature of RPDR. A bit like brokeback mountain--or maybe I'm dull and that's just country, 3 chords and the truth.

A really lovely, heartfelt documentary. Some really emotional moments with Katya which I wasn't expecting. Brian comes across as such a lovely person and so down-to-earth. His music is so clever and always nice to listen to. Overall a great watch.

When I first saw this movie come out, I didn't watch it. I think it was more a projection of my own thoughts and feelings and I wasn't ready. Well, I finally watched it on Netflix and I'm so glad I did. I never knew the background behind Trixie & Katya's show on Viceland. I wanted to watch it and support them but I didn't and still don't have cable.

Moving Parts was a really interesting view into Brian's/Trixie's life behind the scenes, with short excerpts of seeing the glam/popular life, and then a lot of the things that happen out of the public's eye.

I've always loved Katya, but I had no idea what happened with the TV show so seeing her leave the show so abruptly and seeing how Trixie handled it; I have the utmost respect for Brian/Trixie's actions in response to this. He said, 'Friendship first, business partner second'. Trixie told Katya, in scenes we don't see, but came out later by Katya, that Trixie told Katya, 'I will always be here for you. I will always be your friend'. And in Moving Parts, we hear Trixie say, 'I just want my friend back. I'd rather have my friend back than all of this'.

So overall, we get to see Trixie's life - in and out of the limelight. And it's heartfelt. It was hard seeing Katya that way. But Trixie was so kind and forgiving. Trixie understands that mental health is a struggle for Katya and her dependence on substances have been a long time struggle for Katya. Trixie is there for Katya, because Katya is family to Trixie. And Trixie is a loyal friend.

I also loved the soundtrack - all Trixie's music. Very cool.
