RuPaul’s Drag Race is such a cultural mainstay that there’s as much talk about “narrative” as there is the actual competition, with fans debating over how queens’ time on the show is edited to give them a compelling story across any given season.In that sense, it has to be strange to be a queen joining the massively popular television show and introducing yourself to the wider world—albeit a version of yourself that is edited out of your control, and one that viewers will make snap judgments of based on what they see on the screen.That incongruity is at the heart of Lady Like, a fascinating new documentary from Luke Willis about London-born drag queen Lady Camden (a.k.a. Rex Wheeler)—who was runner-up on Drag Race Season 14—delving into what it takes to maintain one’s sense of self amidst skyrocketing to fame.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.Camden’s narrative, so to speak, saw her pirouetting into the competition as something of an underdog, only to emerge as a serious threat for the crown midway through the season after a scene-stealing performance in a comedy acting challenge and a runway that included a gasp-inducing (planned) fall.Of course, that was just the beginning for Camden, and Lady Like pulls back the curtain to show us the artist beneath the wigs as she grapples with millions of people suddenly knowing who she is and manages to blaze a trailer of her own, both in drag and the world of ballet.Even the most ardent Drag Race fans will be wowed by this candid, thoughtful, and ultimately joyful look at a queen’s life in the spotlight.With Lady Like now available on most major digital VOD platforms, we invited Lady Camden to be the first guest in our on-going Q&A series Dishin’ It for 2025.
