The Last Showgirl

"Pamela Anderson excels... in this low-key, vibey backstage drama."

"Sensitive and beguiling."

"You know something’s off when a film lets Anderson fade into the woodwork."

"Not the showstopper it should have been."

"(Anderson) gives an award-worthy performance."

"A numbly tragic workaday fantasia held aloft by Pamela Anderson."

"(Anderson is) the best part of this underwritten and over-the-top film."

"Anderson’s accomplishment here defies easy comparison. It’s not a comeback. It’s a beginning."

"This is the most demanding, layered role of Anderson’s career. It’s also one that she lands spectacularly."

"Slender but tender."

"It’s less a story than a vibe."

"(Anderson) invigorates the character to the utmost, given the anemic script."

"Heavy student-film vibes."

"There’s no overcoming the film’s misjudged style and screenplay."

"It’s impossible not to be enchanted by Anderson’s compassionate turn."

"Great story, amazing cast... but lacklustre direction."

"A richly constructed and moving tale of devotion and obliteration."

"The scene-setting is terrific... but after we get the picture, the script doesn’t have anywhere much to go."
