I enjoyed this film very much and agree with other viewers about the high acting quality of the two leads.
As others have stated in their reviews,the world of drag queens and excessively effeminate men is not for me but the drama quicky transcends that scene as the central relationship develops into something that I was expecting to be quite touching.
The ending was open ended which is a device I personally do not like. I prefer a story that has a beginning,a middle and an end.
I don't think it would be giving anything aways to say that the romantic in me would have liked an ending worthy of 'Heartstopper' but of course it is an entirely different world.
One more thing,and this is not restricted to 'Femme'. Directors create mood partly with lighting but scenes that take part at night or in dark nightclubs should be lit more effectively. There were several scenes where I was not entirely sure what was going on.
In conclusion I would recommend this film for the performances of the two leads especially...and despite other issues,Preston is very sexy.
