A Toronto-born modern Muslim girl must reconcile her old self with her new self when she unleashes her brave and confident Burlesque identity.

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

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.🤣
