"While its premise is ripe for comedy and it certainly delivers its fair share of laughs, Priscilla is also a surprisingly tender and thoughtful road movie with some outstanding performances." – Rotten Tomatoes
"A very human drama, well acted, and very good fun!" – BBC.com
"The core of Stephen Elliott’s movie about three drag queens on a no-hope road trip from Sydney to Alice Springs is a warm-hearted tale about yearning for family." – Times (UK)
Keira Billie: Famously recognised as the richest woman in show business and landlord to the Australian Prime Minister (Sydney residence), Keira Billie is just back from Bangkok, where she dazzled thousands in the first government recognised Pride Festival. She’s a comedy Queen with an acid tongue. She’s got it all, and more. Hide ya dads, Keira’s coming!
