What critics are saying about The Last Showgirl

Themes of ageing and obsolescence are hardly new to cinema, but The Last Showgirl gives them a fresh spin with convincingly depressing potency. Shelly is forced to reckon with the truth that she has given the best decades of her life to what has become a relic of a former age. Le Razzle Dazzle, as her show is named, is old-school Vegas; a feathers-and-rhinestones performance inspired by Parisian Lido culture.

Film Review — The Last Showgirl | Simon Dillon Cinema

The Last Showgirl Is A Contemporary American Ghost Story. Gia Coppola raises the curtains on the glitz and glam you see in film and illustrates Vegas for what it's become in recent times: a desolate ghost town. The Last Showgirl, shot on location, spotlights the deteriorating state of Las Vegas, as evidenced by every point-of-view shot depicting characters wandering through the city's streets or traversing through a casino's vacant halls.
