Critics Consensus

A wistful showcase for Pamela Anderson in a refreshingly dramatic role, The Last Showgirl pays homage to the working class of Las Vegas with a superb collection of performances.

Audience Says

The Last Showgirl relies on Pamela Anderson’s stellar performance while sacrificing storytelling acumen, yet the limelight cast on the harsh realities of aging lingers after the curtains drop.

I liked it, I didn't love it.

Times (UK)

Coppola’s direction has improved little since her equally vapid 2020 Mainstream.

Rated: 2/5

Financial Times

Here and there, Coppola even risks Shelly seeming — shock horror — unsympathetic. We are trusted to be smart enough to handle it.

Rated: 4/5

The Times of India

‘The Last Showgirl’ is an emotionally resonant film, and full credit goes to Gia Coppola for crafting a fictional story that feels real.

Rated: 4/5

Cinefilia

Despite Anderson's standout performance, I get the slight feeling that the drama lacks a pulse and often remains stuck in a conventional zone that tends to overemphasize the obviousness of the dancer wanting one last show. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 5/10

This movie seems to be trying to perpetuate the dumb blonde persona. I wish that it had emphasized that people really do learn a lot by the time they are seniors even if they don't plan well for the future.

Pamela Anderson gives a dramatic performance in a “serious” movie that’s a great fun movie watch and a supporting cast that makes the movie feel 1/2 drama and 1/2 comedy

If you have a beautiful daughter who may be down the road of trading on her good looks... take her to this. I don't think PA is a great actress, but she was perfect for this. A hard look at life, but a good movie.

Really great performances. Could have fleshed out the 4 main characters a bit more. But really a showcase for Pamela Anderson. Worth seeing.
