mrchance 's review for:

5.0

Paul Verhoeven is a favorite director of mine, and Adam Nayman is a sharp film critic. Nayman's long essay here is an excellent look at a film with a complicated history. It doesn't take much to make me want to watch Showgirls again ("I used to love doggy chow") and this book articulates many of the thoughts I had when I first discovered the movie.
