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.

Simran Hans

New Statesman

Anderson’s performance is genuinely moving, but without narrative scaffolding, the film starts to fall apart.

Sandra Hall

Sydney Morning Herald

All up, the scene-setting is terrific. Las Vegas, too, is shown without its make-up – sunstruck and weathered, with a dull suburban fringe – but after we get the picture, the script doesn’t have anywhere much to go.

Rated: 3.5/5

Hayley Spencer

London Evening Standard

As a relative newcomer to the big screen at 57, it feels poignant that Anderson plays a character the same age who is facing up to the end of a 30-year long career.

Rated: 4/5

Pamela Anderson has put her heart and soul into her performance in The Last Showgirl and the result is exceptional.

ABC News (Australia)

The Last Showgirl gets at something about Anderson to which we’ve never really been exposed — the actor, and the artist, behind the icon.

A gruelling portrait of disillusion from director Gia Coppola who details the crippling effects of desperation and uncertainty as it dawns on Shelly how tenuous her sense of self actually is...Pamela Anderson gives a terrific latter-life performance.

Rated: 3.5/5

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.

This was a painful movie to watch. It was brutally real.

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

This definitely was Pamela Anderson's comeback with her finest performance - I cannot think of anyone else who could portray this character, Shelly, who finds out that her Las Vegas review where she has been a fixture is closing after 30 years. You can see the shock, despair and vulnerability on her face when she finds out her career is over in a few weeks. She chose not to wear alot of makeup & I commend her for this. It's a spot on script for our culture which depicts a woman aging out of the system because she is too old for her profession and shows her struggle to get back out there to look for a job. Jamie Lee Curtis did not disappoint with her portrayal of a washed up casino cocktail waitress - the makeup for her character was spot on!! I would definitely recommend this film.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Pamela Anderson is incredible in this role, but it's Jamie Lee Curtis who steals the show. Do not miss it, and at 90 minutes, it is perfect in every way.
