'The Last Showgirl' is good. It's a movie that didn't overstay its welcome, the 89 minutes flew through. Some of the ways the characters act did feel a bit odd to me at times, though the actors all give solid performances; without those onscreen, I'd be rating it lower.
I did hear pre-watch of the positivity Pamela Anderson received for this role and I can see why, she is very good. This is the first time I've seen her in a leading role, despite knowing of her forever. I would, to be honest, put all of her co-stars in the brackets of praise near here though.
Dave Bautista particularly impresses, while Kiernan Shipka, Brenda Song and Jamie Lee Curtis do enough that I do remember them hours after viewing; which isn't always the case for the supporting casts of films that I rate like this. As noted above, it's a film made a success by its talent.
