A worthwhile sophomore outing for those interested in disability and queerness, Queens of the Qing Dynasty is a brave and subtle film. panther_BL's review:
Queens of the Qing Dynasty
That is the first of many special lessons An shares with their charge. Star has been in and out of the hospital many times. An has been appointed to watch her after her latest suicide attempt. Though she’s 18, Star’s disability prevents her from working or living independently. She has parents, but they don’t seem to care or bother to understand. All she has are her cartoons and the sounds in her head.
Star is a difficult character. On the page, she could easily have been frozen, but Walker makes the dialogue interesting. Though McKenzie’s script seems unsure if Star can develop emotionally, Walker finds little moments to distinguish the Star at the end of the film from the one that wakes up in a hospital bed at the very beginning. Those moments puncture through an otherwise structural performance when Star is with An.
