Review of Showgirls (1995) by T W — 07 Jun 2014

Yes, darlings, I'm giving this five stars. Know why? Because THIS RIGHT HERE is the summative film of the 1990s. Elizabeth Berkeley and Gina Gershon make beautiful sparks together, and there's something exhilarating about the way this film swan-dives into the sleaze that makes it impossible for me not to love it.

Paul Verhoeven has proven many times that he's a brilliant satirist, and while I may not like all his films, this one deserves to be seen as more than a mere camp classic...though if you want to watch it for the camp, you surely WON'T be disappointed! Great stuff!
