This is my first review here, and I'm primarily writing because the current rating seems so off to me! I found the story and characters very compelling, and found myself wanting to know more about what happens next after the film ended. The cinematography was beautiful, especially the juxtaposition between pageant pomp and poshness vs small town Texas scenes. The sense of community was portrayed with tenderness and clarity without being too forced or obvious. It's refreshing to see full and flawed characters - but who we still cheer for and want to see succeed. Definitely recommend this film.
