About
You’ll probably like Flawless if you want an emotional, character-driven friendship with singing lessons and drag culture energy; Not for you if you dislike comedy-drama mixes or want a straightforward, tightly paced plot like Chéri or Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
Pros: standout performances; heartfelt friendship; singing-focused rehab | Cons: mixed tone; story feels messy; some feel offensive
