Kinky Boots
After generations of making quality sensible footwear, Charlie Price's (Joel Edgerton) small-town shoe business is about to go down the gurgler, until an idea to get things back on track comes from an unlikely source. Lola (Chiwetel Ejiofor) is a sassy female impersonator with an eye for design and a need for kinky boots. Described as 'The Full Monty' meets 'Priscilla Queen of the Desert' this is a quirky feel-good film with all the right ingredients.
