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.

Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) I liked it, I didn't love it. Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Coppola’s direction has improved little since her equally vapid 2020 Mainstream. Rated: 2/5 Mar 6, 2025 Full Review Danny Leigh 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 Mar 6, 2025 Full Review Asia Frey Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) Pamela Anderson is vulnerable and poignant as Shelley Gardner, a Las Vegas dancer clinging desperately to the show she has given her life to, “The Razzle Dazzle." Rated: B Sep 27, 2025 Full Review Marta Medina mundoCine [The Last Showgirl] is a film whose conventional script would hardly have found a place at major festivals were it not for Anderson’s presence. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) Women Write About Comics The women actors in this film have excellent camaraderie, and the cast chemistry does a lot of the heavy lifting. If only the plot didn’t try to do so much and lose its way, The Last Showgirl would have been a much stronger film overall. Aug 20, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Vanezza Lopez Palema Anderson is just an amazing woman, this movie inspired me as a young woman that it’s never too late to keep doing what you love. No matter your age, you’re still beautiful and should be comfortable in your own skin no matter what people say. We’re not young forever but the goal is to always love yourself until your last breath. Loved this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review Bryant Wish the ending was better. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review Michael 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review ALVIN H 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 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Gary G 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review Jim M This was a painful movie to watch. It was brutally real. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Read all reviews
