It seems to me that this film is better viewed, and thus more fully appreciated, after first watching Wiseman's 'Crazy Horse'. What Verhoeven presents to us here is not just a collection of images, sounds, music and people acting, but a 'feeling'. More specifically a quality of airiness mixed with danger. A heady film for sure, but not titillating. It's deserving of more than ironic love from cinephiles.

here’s a movie the instant you attempt to praise verhoeven, everyone will go “yea, sure.” but seriously, the direct....... the way camera mov..... commentary on enterta... ok ok but certainly doesn’t deserve the bad reputation - just like many other misunderstood verhoeven films.

An inspiring story about a confident and independent woman using her empowerment to advance through a career that she loves no matter what people think -- and then uses her empowerment to bully and manipulate her peers for her own gain. Now that's character development! A properly vulgar and hysterical film about a vulgar and hysterical part of America, and manages to show a smidgen of humanity in it, but this remains a window into a mostly ugly, but somewhat alluring world.

Given the film's general notoriety, this is a surprisingly dull and flaccid effort, with Verhoeven unusually timid in his handling of material which should be right in his ball-park, resulting in a film that's generally watchable, but uninspired; livened by some absurdly acrobatic sex scenes, awkwardly inserted to try and top BASIC INSTINCT. The performers can't be faulted; Berkley is effectively overwrought, even if the film around her doesn't support her interesting characterisation.

Watchable, outrageous, ambitious, and campy. Nowhere near as bad as its reputation, but most people aren't prepared to take a film with this much T&A seriously.

The least erotic erotic-drama is really bad, but it's also very good. Like Kyle McLachlan said: "you'll think the next scene will be better, but it just gets worse!" Which means it's great unless you were involved in it.

Is it terrible? Certainly. Is it entertainingly terrible? Often enough. Is it intentionally terrible? I don't buy it, but I don't think it matters.

90s Prince slappers, shirtless Kyle MacLachlan, consistently great camerawork, peak midnight-movie neon colors, and a deconstruction of Hollywood's love of deconstructing Vegas glamour - every minute is gloriously batshit. Along with Freddy Got Fingered, one of the modern films most desperately in need of a serious critical reevaluation.

Verhoeven pulled off a fucking coup, here, didn't he? Showgirls combines the myth-making Americana pomp of Busby Berkeley, and the subversive, knowing sex games of Russ Meyer, but then it took all of Bob Fosse's quaaludes and had a seizure going down on a hooker in a Vegas back room. Its Tits-and-Ass-and-Overacting glam is a smokescreen obscuring the truth of the musical mythos: Every kind act is shit on and every little shit gets ahead. It's neither serious nor a satire - it's a statement.
