A seasoned showgirl must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after 30 years on the air. Eddie: [from trailer] Locations, please. This is your call for locations…
for Razzle Dazzle’s final show
Appeared on The 7PM Project: Episode December 10, 2024 (2024). Beautiful That Way, written by Miley Cyrus, Lykke Li, and Andrew Wyatt, starring Miley Cyrus. When I heard about this movie, I immediately thought of this year’s “Substance.” Both Pamela Anderson and Demi Moore are actresses who were big stars in their youth and their careers “were very much tied” to their looks, and at a certain age they stopped getting roles in prestigious Hollywood productions, but this year they have landed roles that allow them to be back in the mouths of moviegoers.
Pamela, on the other hand
However, Demi played phenomenally in a highly original and daring body horror, and her role will be remembered as one of the best comebacks in film history. well, she plays well in that film and shows that she can be a good dramatic actress, but she is held back by the film itself, which is too formalistic, does not take risks and does not delve into the psychology of the main character and even less into the completely unwritten secondary characters. There are some interesting seeds of plot, including: confrontations between characters about which of the shows they perform in various clubs is art and which is pornography, but these interesting moments are quickly cut in favor of sentimental and meaningless scenes, such as Pamela dancing in the street of Las Vegas.
I also don’t understand why the shots are sometimes so strangely blurry at the beginning of the film
I did not like Jamie Lee Curtis in this one, who acts as if she is in a completely different film from the others. The plot is pretty predictable: we know how the conflicts between the characters will be resolved and that some elements introduced at the beginning will return at the end. I think it was supposed to be part of the artistic vision, but it’s done so clumsily and inconsistently that it seems more like an accident.
You’ll probably watch it and forget about it right after
But at least “The Last Showgirl” is only 1 hour and 25 minutes long, so it’s not a tiring experience.
