The Last Showgirl Review: Pamela Anderson Stuns In Gia Coppola's Melancholic Vegas Drama
This review was originally published on September 6, 2024, as a part of our Toronto International Film Festival coverage.
Entertainers - true entertainers, the ones that command the stage with sheer force of will - have long been a dying breed, especially in Las Vegas. As the town has become a debauched Disneyland, there’s less emphasis on Show Business and more on merchandise, celebrity, and excess. Pamela Anderson’s Shelley is facing this slow death head on in The Last Showgirl when her long-running Vegas show Le Razzle Dazzle is set to close and she’s sent into an existential crisis.

Le Razzle Dazzle is the last of its era, the kind of show where the women wear elaborate sequined costumes bejeweled to the heavens.
