Synopsis:
A drag queen takes in a drug addict and her daughter and helps raise the daughter.
Quick Thoughts:
This TV movie is a bit of a surprise out of left field. Many felt that Ving Rhames as a drag queen would be too camp, laughable, and more – but WOW! I can’t say that I’ve seen many of his other films, but he brings a realness and grit to Holiday that is quite powerful. But the hidden talent is actually from Alfre Woodlard who portrays an addict that both makes us cringe and want to turn away, while also feeling extreme sorrow for how her character, Wanda, because we saw her full character arc. In a film that really dives deep into the concept of family and helping others, “Holiday Heart” is actually an excellent film.
