Becoming Burlesque

This movie delivers strong messages that need to be heard! It's clever, powerful and an enjoyable film to watch. The combination of Jackie English's writing and directing with Shiva Negar as the lead and her great cast is wonderful team and I hope to see them work together again.

I feel like this movie disrespects the culture of Islam. like i don't really have a problem with people becoming burlesque. But having a Muslim female in this while showing that she is Islamic is quiet disrespectful. like it wasn't necessary for her to choose between her faith and her job.

very disturbed

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!

I wish I could report all of the negative comments cos this movie was great

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.
