Becoming Burlesque

An eye opener for sure, and a good approach to a controversial subject.

Could maybe have been a bit deeper script wise and maybe longer, but overall good otherwise.

A fine feature debut from Jackie English, showing the burlesque world from an insider's perspective, as well as a multicultural perspective on personal empowerment.

Humans need to progress, not stand still for thousands of years. This movie and the skilled actors illustrate the challenges of a modern cultures soft spot. Namely the freedom to be religious even if it hinders others freedom and life.

That makes it profoundly important. <3

Though a bit clumsy in the execution the movie had a some good moments and dealt with issues in a non stereotypical manner which was quite refreshing. A little more sophistication perhaps to make it a perfect 10 but worth watching.

So glad to finally see an accurate representation of burlesque on screen! Now we can finally point to a movie to show the muggle world what burlesque really is rather than having to explain it's not like the Christina Aguilera movie. As the majority of the cast is made up of actual burlesque performers it really helps bring a truely authentic feeling of burlesque to the screen.

The story is beautifully written and directed by Jackie English and the entire cast delivers a wonderful performance.

I would highly recommend this movie!
