The Last Showgirl

A poignant memoir on the last days of the career of a middle-aged titular dancer grappling with uncertainties about her livelihood and her onstage dreams when the revue she has performed in for three decades is scheduled to close that is also an accolade to the unseen plight of the underbelly beneath the glitz of the Las Vegas strip.

It has the ingredients for a good story but it wasn't brought to a heightened level, wasn't compelling, could have been pretty good. Pamela Anderson was good.

This is a sad movie. Buyer beware. What's sort of fascinating is the casting. Not only is this an ideal role for Pamela Anderson who, let's face it, is no Meryl Streep, but this is also the first thing I've ever seen Billie Lourd in where she's actually good. And it's not because her stilted acting has improved either. It's just that she managed to find the role she was born to play, and like Anderson, she's actually quite good.

There were some great moments here, and I agree with the consensus that Pamela Anderson did something unexpected and powerful.

Incredible, a different moment and award season was there's.

It’s a great role for Anderson—probably her best—but the script glosses over the grit beneath the glamour. We needed more of the showgirl’s shadow to balance the spotlight.

Plot was extremely boring. nothing happened, the ending was shitty. no resolution, no hope. The script lines was all over the place, making the viewer feel depressed over nothing. The camera was extremely shaky at some scenes, very unprofessional. Great actresses, but their talents got wasted on this film. Love pam and Kiernan. F-

Well acted, but Last Showgirl is a devestatingly depressing run into the abyss with no silver linings and no nuance. One way, down. There’s a lot of empty space that’s meant for silent introspection, but when a movie’s this heavy there has got to be a change of pace, and a reason for sticking it out.

The show was just OK. Had to skip through some of the songs showing the characters in silince - seemed more like time fillers than adding to the story. Kinfd of like the Razzle Dazzle show itself and why they died

I couldn’t finish this movie. I don’t know why there was such a big hype around this movie. I really don’t understand. I thought it was awful. Didn’t like the story and I didn’t think the acting was good either.
