Peter Rainer FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Jamie Lee Curtis is excellent in her tough cookie, cynical mode. Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Kat Sachs Chicago Reader 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. Jan 16, 2025 Full Review 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 Jan 16, 2025 Full Review Dan Buffa 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. Jan 25, 2025 Full Review Juanma Fernández París 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] Jan 24, 2025 Full Review 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.

zac c. 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review MH Entertaining, Jamie Lee Curtis steals the show. Pamela Anderson is very good as well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review Natasha J Nykin Pamela Anderson was awesome Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review Facebook U 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review Evangelina Pamela Andersons acting is phenomenal. The story is poignant and well handled. I loved this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review John Wonderful performances by Pamela Anderson and Jamie Lee Curtis.
