The last showgirl revue in Vegas is about to close and a seasoned performer working since the '80s is forced to confront retirement from the only job she loves and still feels qualified to do. Pamela Anderson (making her comeback at 57 and still looking glamorous) heads this sparse indie drama shot on 16mm about a dancer coming to terms with an uncertain future in a rapidly evolving world, all the while attempting to make amends with her estranged daughter.
It's a good film, but there's something odd about it that stands out in your mind. It's more about the naturalistic performances at the center of it than anything plot-related. There are layers to the sadness, and Pamela shines in a sublime star-turning role.
