The beauty of National Anthem is that it effortlessly challenges all expectations and preconceived notions.
It’s exciting to see a debut so self-assured and comfortable in its own sun-baked skin.
Gilford’s National Anthem offers a sense of beauty to behold and accept. It is visually stunning and a complete story everyone can understand, with great drag performances and other spectacles that make this film memorable.
From the impressive cinematography to its refreshingly non-pandering script, Gilford further proves himself to be a powerful voice in modern queer art.
The film is a little wispy, too often slapping another song on another dreamy sequence rather than giving us more intimate access to the main characters — let alone the secondary figures who make up the tight-knit queer family, most of whom don’t even get names. But the authenticity and distinctiveness of the milieu keep it involving.
National Anthem may at times feel a bit too simple, but the craftsmanship and the core performances are enough to make it worth a watch.
