Butch Jamie
Michelle Ehlen, US, 2007, 84 min
In this witty charmer, Jamie's acting career is on the skids with even her roommate's diva cat getting more roles than she. What's a butch to do when she gets an offer she can't refuse? This original butch dyke comedy is a welcome change to a traditional genre. In some of the best drag since Tootsie, Ehlen turns in a sincere and hilarious performance with smart and deadpan delivery.
