Flawless

Directed by Joel Schumacher

A conservative guard's stroke leads to singing lessons with a drag queen, challenging his beliefs.
Flawless is an uneven but ambitious drama built around the unlikely friendship between Robert De Niro’s conservative former security guard and Philip Seymour Hoffman’s drag performer. The film can be heavy-handed, but Hoffman gives a vivid, humane performance and the central relationship develops more warmth than the broad premise initially suggests.
