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.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

Jamie Lee Curtis is excellent in her tough cookie, cynical mode.

Is it possible to love a film you don’t really like? That’s how I feel about The Last Showgirl. Great story, amazing cast (hopefully the Pamela Anderson renaissance has only just begun), but lackluster direction.

Peter Howell

Toronto Star

Clocking in at a brisk 85 minutes -- it was shot in just 18 days -- this is the rare film that might have benefitted from a longer runtime to tell a more complete story.

Rated: 3/4

Ramble On With Buffa (Substack)

Anderson and Bautista give lived-in performances, but it's Jamie Lee Curtis who steals scenes and ultimately the show. A dim look at barely hanging on that strikes a chord.

El Nuevo Día (Puerto Rico)

[Pamela Anderson's] performance creates a moving border between vulnerability, denial and melancholy about what could have been and what will never be. [Full review in Spanish]

Diane Carson

KDHX (St. Louis)

With Andrew Wyatt's music, including "Beautiful That Way" sung by Miley Cyrus, the cinematic harmony of all the elements delivers a unified, powerful portrait of this showgirl's life, a rather sad one at this point in her career.

i loved this. i love anderson, i love bautista. every shot, every texture, the music. it's a compassionate, blues-tinged portrait carved into pink marble. i loved how many different women, doing the same thing to survive but all wanting vastly unique things, we meet in a film only a little over 80 minutes. as i watched i kept thinking that a film like this, with such a stunning and versatile cast, was meant to be made now. it could have never come together in this exact way if not now. and honestly, i’m relieved jamie said it instead of me—“all histories with men are bad.” and there was still no giving up.

Kinda a rambling movie tha explored a womans life but led to no solutions or answers. Meandering would be the word I would use. Only it never gets anywhere.
