  • "They're unplugging their curling wands and going bush. Stamp, Weaving, and Pearce take the outback by storm in this fabulous tale of three drag queens who hit the road in a pink bus called "Priscilla" and head for Alice Spring to perform a cabaret show unlike anything the locals have seen before."@en
  • "The film's humour derives mainly from the dissonance between familiar cultural and sexual stereotypes. Cliches of gay male and drag culture such as bitchy repartee and high camp are set against those that highlight the eccentric behaviours of rural Australian characters. Similarly, stereotypical images of the natural beauty of the outback landscape are juxtaposed against the lurid over-the-top outfits donned by the trio during their journey. This contrast re-works the familiar construction of the outback landscape in Australian cinema as a metaphor for national identity traits constructed in masculine terms. By promoting the mythology and showbiz glitz that surrounds such lifestyles and eliding the real struggles faced by transvestites and transsexuals to be fully accepted into society 'Priscilla' played a major role in bringing drag sub-cultures into the mainstream internationally."@en
