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.

The 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

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

[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

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.

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.

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

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

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.
