‘JUMP, DARLING’

Half-prepped before a dressing room mirror in the back of a bustling city gay bar, Russell, an actor turned drag queen, struggling to find his voice, is given a wrenching ultimatum. Overcome by indecision, he escapes to his grandmother’s house in the country and there he finds the sardonic Margaret (Cloris Leachman). Antagonized by his overprotective mother, a sexy-though-mysterious college boy, a cockney city gay bar owner, and the specter of his failed-artist grandfather, Russell struggles to realize a bold new identity. Featuring the brilliant Ms. Leachman in her final starring role before her death, this heart-warming film pairs love of drag with an aging iconic diva to ask the questions about what inspires us to carry on.
