The Last Showgirl is a moving portrayal of a multi-generational group of women who, while facing uncertainty, attempt to figure out their next steps for their future.

‘The Last Showgirl’ is an emotionally resonant film, and full credit goes to Gia Coppola for crafting a fictional story that feels real.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 7, 2025

Despite Anderson's standout performance, I get the slight feeling that the drama lacks a pulse and often remains stuck in a conventional zone that tends to overemphasize the obviousness of the dancer wanting one last show. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 27, 2025

This is a poignant, engrossing and authentically moving film.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 25, 2025

The inspired casting of Pamela Anderson and a show stopping Jamie Lee Curtis churn the gentle poignancy of The Last Showgirl into a slice of melancholic sublimity despite a narrative which might feel like a bit plain if not for the compelling zest of...

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 21, 2025

Anderson gives her all, but still, her starring vehicle is a skimpy affair.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 12, 2025

I liked it, I didn't love it.

Coppola’s direction has improved little since her equally vapid 2020 Mainstream.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 6, 2025

Here and there, Coppola even risks Shelly seeming — shock horror — unsympathetic. We are trusted to be smart enough to handle it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 6, 2025

More than anything it is Pamela’s honest and emotional acting which makes The Last Showgirl worth watching.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 6, 2025

Endearing and heart-breaking, it’s hard to know where Shelly ends and Pamela begins.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 5, 2025

This is Anderson's movie - a triumphant comeback for an actor reckoning with her own age and taking control of her career after decades of press mistreatment.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 4, 2025

More of this would have given this showbusiness fable some welcome bite; as it is, it’s an absorbing but disappointingly tasteful watch.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 4, 2025

This isn’t a big, showy, dramatic performance. Coppola is smart enough to tailor the film to Anderson’s strengths.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 4, 2025

While the characters established early on in The Last Showgirl remain vividly authentic throughout, the story that connects them continually comes across as frustratingly vague.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 4, 2025

...there is no better person to portray Shelly than Pamela Anderson. She is truly putting everything into this role and she nails Shelly’s vulnerability and delusional behaviour perfectly.

| Mar 4, 2025

Without the narrative scaffolding or depth to surround her character, Coppola’s film can often feel like a message in search of a movie.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 3, 2025

It’s initially tempting to dismiss the picture, like its central character with her breathy, little-girl voice, as superficial. But there’s a bruising cumulative power to this melancholy little paean to an ending era.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 3, 2025

An emotionally powerful film that brings out the best in its lead star.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 3, 2025

Finds endless variation on the city at magic hour – the gigawatts of neon just becoming visible as the horizon reddens. The characters sad in mufti. The nothingness of desert just visible through the haze.
