Hugo Weaving, I owe you an apology. I was not familiar with your game.

Three drag queens set off on a run Through the outback to see Mitzi's son. To correct, one's transgender I meant not to offend her, As she's the more serious one
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
I wasn't prepared for the generosity and gorgeousness with which Aussie writer-director Stephan Elliott turn this most unlikely road picture into something arresting -- if a tad sentimental -- in its naive vision of a perfectly tolerant world.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
It's a road movie that's anything but typical or traditional.
Chicago Tribune
Clifford Terry
On the whole, though, it is funny and compassionate, silly and sweet.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It's too bad that the requirements of plotting require movies like this to crank up the event count, when actually what works is just the daily minutiae of Bernadette's life.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Bernadette -- formerly Ralph -- turns out to be an excellent role for Stamp.
Austin Chronicle
Robert Faires
You may have Gloria Gaynor's 'I Will Survive' rattling through your head for a few days, but that's a small price to pay for an audience with true royalty.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Not everything works equally well in this road movie, but writer-director Stephan Elliott keeps things watchable.
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
Where else are you going to see General Zod, Agent Smith and the guy from Memento as drag queens stranded in the Australian Outback?
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Candice Russell
Outrageous and giddy, the main characters in this movie make The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert a summer entertainment that won't soon be forgotten.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
It's a cute trio... But like the tour bus, the movie suffers engine failure after a while.
Variety
David Stratton
The plot of Priscilla isn't as important as the outlandish, wicked dialogue , the wild costumes and makeup, and the general high spirits of the entire enterprise.
Film.com
Lucy Mohl
The year's one clear candidate for future cult status.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
In this roaringly comic and powerfully affecting road movie, Terence Stamp gives one of the year's best performances.
Metro Weekly (Washington, DC)
Randy Shulman
Funny, extravangantly silly, and surprisingly poignant.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
To its credit, whenever things get too treacly, Priscilla knows enough to break out those frocks and get the show in gear. That is entertainment for sure.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
The best things in this transsexual comedy-melodrama are Lizzy Gardiner and Tim Chappel's colorful costumes, which deservedly won the Oscar, and Terrence Stamp's performance, snubbed by the Academy.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert presents a defiant culture clash in generous, warmly entertaining ways. For all its glitter, this is the sort of film in which everyone becomes happier and nicer by the final reel.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
Writer-director Stephan Elliott is obviously fond of his characters, and this may account for the upbeat story line, but it blinds him to how very annoying two hours of dishing can be.
