The Last Showgirl

Drama


 

Shelley is a Las Vegas showgirl facing an uncertain future after the revue she's been dancing in for three decades plans to update its floorshow - no more high kicks and rhinestones.

Disruptors aside, the world changes gradually; when you've been focused on keeping yourself together, you might miss signals heralding that 'tits and feathers' shows are past their best-before date. "The Last Showgirl" is a poignant character study of ageing and obsolescence boosted by a star turn from a big-name supporting actor who finds her own moments in the spotlight and sidesteps being overshadowed by the illuminating performance from the lead. Give 'em the ol' razzle-dazzle.
