As a cinephile, watching a film being discussed in such a manner is like crack to me, and I inhaled every second. And it’s not just for the academics - there’s drag queens, a satirical musical, more boobs than you could possibly imagine, and you bet your arse they justify THAT sex scene, and by George, they had me convinced! I now fantasise that this film is only the beginning of a series of passionate and intelligent arguments as to the artistic and cultural merits of films. Like Nomi herself, I dare to dream. - Jess Fenton Read Jess' full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-you-dont-nomi-showgirls-shit-or-masterpiece-of-shit
