I found the problem with Flawless the same I find in most Hollywood's films: too much rules in the story. To make the film entertainable, Hollywood producers do not open hand of rules, this case being the subplot where gangsters try to recuperate money stolen from their drug dealing (among others). The film itself is an actor's film. I won't share the plot once more, but it deals with the approximation of two worlds: that of the retired cop (Robert the Niro) with impaired speaking to a drag queen (Phillip Seymor Hoffman) that know the basics of singing, who will help him with his voice. Around the two the film stands, and that's the sole meaning of its existence. The growth of both characters it's what most justify the film, that becomes a pleasurable within being in the hands of this two sacred monsters of cinema.
