      Phil Guie Film-Forward.com League of Exotique Dancers is an upbeat look back on burlesque's glory days, told through the eyes of one-time practitioners who still have all the right moves. Rated: 5/5 Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Laura Anne Harris Seventh Row A film about burlesque can't be all feathers and fluff. It needs to examine all aspects of the art form to add nuance and humanity to the film's subjects. Jul 20, 2017 Full Review Sadaf Ahsan National Post The ways in which they reclaimed the feminine mystique and controlled the way they used their bodies serve for evergreen lessons for women on what it means to be proud of what you have and how you choose to use it. Rated: 3/4 May 20, 2016 Full Review Ken Eisner Georgia Straight Even the most outlandish, oak-aged figures here reward the time spent with them as they ponder various stages of the sometimes sexy pantomime called life. May 19, 2016 Full Review Susan G. Cole NOW Toronto Very entertaining. Rated: 4/5 May 18, 2016 Full Review Adrian Mack Georgia Straight Utterly at home in their post-retirement bodies, these ferociously wise old ladies provide Rama Rau's beautifully made doc with a climactic stage performance that's as unexpectedly sexy as it is moving.

      Audience Member The women of League of Exotique Dancers provide vibrant and enthusiastic subjects. Although their burlesque days are behind them, they all look back fondly. Director Rama Rau has gathered an array of burlesque legends all with very different ideas of what burlesque is and how it operates as a feminist art form. Rau's subjects include every one from a sweet little old lady who refuses to walk around naked even when she's alone, to a working dominatrix. League of Exotique Dancers gives us a look at the vast arrays of people and personalities who found freedom and joy in the strip tease. It is a wonderful celebration of femininity and the female body being reclaimed by women as an active force. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
