The film attracted the attention of Australian films from all over the world. At the same time, the film portrays homosexuality sympathetically and brings the sensitive topic of homosexuality into the mainstream audience's attention. In addition, the film was also criticized for its explicit racial and sexist stereotypes.
The exaggerated and appropriate performances of the three male actors in the film, as well as the bizarre female costumes, are refreshing; the optimistic atmosphere permeated in the film also makes people feel comfortable.
The film advocates tolerance to marginalized groups and explores the definition of "normal men" by Australians who are known for their masculinity. Terence Stamp who played Bernadette, Hugo Weaving who played Mickey Mouse, and Guy Pearce who played Ferrez all contributed convincingly outstanding performances. Three sexy queens wearing pointed high heels are on this life-changing journey. Re-found their respective identities.
