Synopsis
Inspired by true events, Everybody's Talking About Jamie follows Jamie New (Harwood), a teenager from Sheffield, who dreams of life on stage. While his classmates plan their livelihoods after they leave school, Jamie contemplates revealing his secret career ambition to become a fierce and proud drag queen. His best friend Pritti (Patel) and his loving mum (Lancashire) shower him with endless support, while local drag legend Miss Loco Chanelle (Grant) mentors him toward his debut stage performance. But Jamie also has to contend with an unsupportive father (Ineson), an uninspired careers advisor (Horgan), and some ignorant school kids who attempt to rain on his sensational parade. In rousing and colourful musical numbers, Jamie and his community inspire one another to overcome prejudice, be more accepting, and to step out of the darkness into the spotlight.

i certainly won’t be talking about jamie
aaronSep 17, 2021Where many musicals falter, this adaptation thrives by honing its sense of place and character. My former home county of Yorkshire rarely gets the balanced portrayal lent by native director Jonathan Butterall to this film. It avoids both reductive caricatures and…

“Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” is a mouthful of frosted cupcakeiness that deliciously captures the modern experience of being a queer teen. You might come away with more sprinkles in your mouth than actual cupcake… but, sugar is sweet even if it isn’t always…

The songs are alright but it’s just a bit boring - drawn out plotlines that had me losing interest because it went on too long - talented cast though :)
Lilly Martin lovedEverybody's Talking About JamieI must have cried at least 15 times in this movie, its such an emotional, deep and beautiful film. I adore drag and seeing Jamie flourish into loving himself and drag is gorgeous. It battles with the trouble of acceptance which is so important. Such a great and educational film!❤️
Preston likedEverybody's Talking About JamieAfter a rewatch, I can confidently say this is a great film, I feel like it was missing a couple larger dance numbers though the story was beautiful

Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, for all its razzle-dazzle, never loses sight of its northern working-class roots.

The songs are nearly all bouncy, look-at-me numbers intended for Jamie and his inner circle . . . . But there’s one new addition that makes all the difference: an original number called “This Was Me,” a terrific ’80s-style anthem (performed by Grant and Frankie Goes to Hollywood lead singer Holly Johnson) that provides younger audiences with some much-needed queer history.

True to formula, the neatly wrapped ending is telegraphed from continents away. But even under those rules, Harwood’s already rarefied quality and Butterell’s adept choices in his film directorial debut — his familiarity with material yields a positive transfiguration from stage to screen — color Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, a high-heeled and glossy romp that’s radical in its loving optimism.
