@thedrkling: Feeling seen. Feeling beautiful. That is powerful. — The Last Showgirl (2024) • directed by Gia Coppola • starring Pamela Anderson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Brenda Song, Kiernan Shipka, Billie Lourd, Dave Bautista and directed by Gia Coppola. In theaters nationwide on January 10th. — My Rating:★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ Review: The Last Showgirl is a film that its emotional core is elusive, and I found myself struggling to pin down how I felt about it. For nearly a day, I was caught in a swirl of conflicting emotions, unable to label it as a film I hated or one I loved. The writing, while criticized by many for being shallow or overly simplistic, actually captures something raw and uncomfortably real. Shelly’s character is irritating, self-absorbed and often oblivious to the needs of those around her—but that’s what makes her feel so authentic. The plot itself though intriguing, is not something I’m particularly fond of. The film almost dares you to care about anyone else, but in the end it’s her story that takes center stage. It’s frustrating at times because you want more depth, but the film’s refusal to indulge that desire feels intentional—it mirrors Shelly’s own emotional limitations. One of the standout moments comes when Shelly speaks to Hannah (Billie Lourd) about the importance of prioritizing one's passions. It's a heartfelt sequence that stands out. This scene, where a mother supports her child in pursuing a dream, is a rare and comforting portrayal of unconditional encouragement, especially in the world of the creative field. Pamela Anderson delivers an extraordinary performance that unquestionably deserves the same level of acclaim Demi Moore received for her role in The Substance. All in all, The Last Showgirl isn’t a film that satisfies neatly. It’s a mirror held up to the complexities of human relationships, one that doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths. The characters don’t grow or change in the ways we expect.
