"Dancing at the Blue Iguana" offers a rare glimpse into the often misunderstood world of the strip club, which is much more than the sum of its voyeuristic offerings. The Blue Iguana, in the heart of Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, is a club where the glamour is tinged with decay, a crossroads where lives intersect and personas are donned and shed with equal abandon.

Matthew Turner Empire Magazine An interesting failure. It's well-acted by an extremely game cast, but sadly suffers from a lack of direction and a decent screenplay.

Audience Member I love this movie was my favorite movie of the 90's it has 3 top actress's Hannah Tilly an one of the most highly accredited Asian actress's out their so totally worth the hour plus it's a great mood starter always got me in the mood for romance Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Will always be a favorite of mine. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I am not giving it a 4 or 5 because I wasnt satisfied with the information I got on each character. I wanted to know more about their background, I found them all to be very intriguing and very lost but I would have liked to have known more. And Daryl Hana filmwas freaking INCREDIBLE in this film. I think it was the best performance in her career. It was a very good movie, people who didnt like it are just being judgemental of the content. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member movie about a stripper named angel and im a stripper named angel so thats why i watched it Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Bored. This is not a strong women movie. I hit the fast forward for part of this one. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member nice erotic improv film about the lives of strippers on and off the stage and detailed accounts of how they deal with f their inner demons.
