This film is about a young man having to save a desperate financial situation of his shoe factory using desperate measures. Inspired by a drag queen, he decides to make kinky boots to revive his show factory.
Acting by Chiwetel Ejiofor as a drag queen is impressive. His speech about "Sex is in the heels" is excellently portrayed. The script is vaguely predictable, but it does not feel boring. The arguments between Charlie and his wife Nicola are intense and memorable. Another thing that is worth mentioning is that the film is very successful in portraying the enthusiasm of the shoe workers in their work. I can feel how they want to keep making shoes and they are always striving to keep up the good work.
The exterior scenes of this film are really filmed in Northampton, where the film is based. As I have lived in Northampton before, I am able to recognise every single place in the film. That makes this film extra fun for me!
