The Garden Cinema View:
Sophie Dupuis brings a fresh energy to this All About Eve set-up, with a dazzling dive into the power games and friendships at a Québécois drag club. There's a raw, Cassavetes-esque, edge to the performances (especially the arguments), but Solo truly comes alive in the thrilling performance sequences.
