Judy's been described as many things: a free spirit, a day dreamer, a boy-crazy hot mess. But this is going to be the summer it all comes together for this ambitious, 30-something drag queen/cater-waiter and his best friend, Chrissy. That is, until Chrissy's priorities suddenly shift, forcing a disillusioned Judy to examine his life and priorities as a queer artist, and rediscover himself in the process. In this dark comedy, "Chrissy Judy" explores the universal pain of breaking up with your best friends and questions, "What do you do when your chosen family no longer chooses you?"

If the unevenness of “Chrissy Judy” doesn’t ever grate or detract from its overall effect, this is because its heart is squarely in the right place.

At the heart of Chrissy Judy is the concept of queer friendships and partnerships, coexisting within a world full of people that judge practically everything about them.

While it does manage to realistically and meaningfully capture queer life in the 2020s, Chrissy Judy lacks the heart to make this friendship breakup the painful loss it deserved to be.

In another timeline, Flaherty would be winning awards for Chrissy Judy beyond the queer festival circuit, and not just for his acting. Not only does he take the lead in Chrissy Judy, he also wrote, edited and directed the film too.

This is a film with heart but zero sentimentality, that skillfully earns its dramatic weight by maintaining modest aims that are nonetheless almost lethally accurate.

Chrissy Judy is a heartfelt, visually pleasing, and bittersweet take on friendship and drag.
