Profile of Flawless

The mood of Flawless is humorous and sentimental. The plot centers around transvestism, culture clash, and friends. It is a drama and comedy movie. Stylistically, Flawless is talky. In approach, it is realistic. The setting is New York. Flawless happens in the 1990s. The movie is known for being an award winner. Note that it includes profanity and violent content.

Summary of Flawless

The story of Walt Koontz (De Niro), a bitter, homophobic security guard who suffers a stroke that leaves him partially paralyzed. Depressed and suicidal over his slurred speech and awkward limp, he eventually breaks down and asks a neighbor for singing lessons. The neighbor, an unglamorous drag artist named Rusty (Hoffman), is as uncomfortable and disgusted with Koontz's bitter demeanor as Koontz is with Rusty's lifestyle. Hoffman proves that he is one of the finest character actors currently working in films. FLAWLESS is a nice change of pace for Schumacher (BATMAN FOREVER, THE LOST BOYS).

Critics Reviews

Entertainment Weekly
It says a lot for Joel Schumacher's Flawless that you can see the picture's high-concept heart a mile away and still be won over by it.
San Francisco Chronicle
Contrived and overly schematic, but De Niro and Hoffman are such good actors that it never slips into pat sentiment.

Not for me
