A refreshing,entertaining film. Amazing performances, beautiful choreography. And a un-political look at a political topic. Lots of funny moments and uplifting too!

Great for a feature film. Pleasently surprised by the quality from a new film maker, a definite insightful experience into the world of burlesque and I also loved the costumes.🤣

As unique as the story is, Becoming Burlesque succeeds in large part to Shiva Negar's performance as Fatima. She's engaging and charismatic, and she guides Fatima's character arc flawlessly.

Rated: 7.5/10

Not subtle, but a cute, sexy and sometimes witty culture clash comedy about a Muslim woman and the empowerment of exotic dancing.

Rated: 2.5/4
