Leave your thoughts about Burlesque Undressed.
| Time OutBen WaltersOverall, this is a solid if scattershot primer on a scene that seems here to stay. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterImmodesty Blaize goes behind the tassels and sequins to discover the appeal and comes to the far-from-earth-shattering conclusion that it's all about harmless fantasy. |
| Empire MagazineLiz BeardsworthPeeping behind the curtain seems a little inappropriate in the world of Burlesque, but this is a charming introduction the art form. |
| Times (UK)Edward PorterAlison Grist's documentary is a history of the theatrical art of burlesque. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawIt's a bit of a promo-showreel for IB's live show, but cheerfully entertaining nonetheless. |
| FHM [UK]Luke EdwardsA whole film of burlesque dancers doing burlesque dancing and talking about burlesque dancing. How can it possibly fail? |
| Independent (UK)Anthony QuinnThis perfectly pleasant celebration of burlesque would look better as a late-night documentary on E4; on the big screen its impact feels rather lost. |
| Radio TimesSloan FreerGrist's attempts to dissect the subject actually take away its sparkle, scarcely doing justice to the talents featured, and making even Blaize's most elaborate routines feel rather flat and unerotic. |
| Little White LiesLimara SaltDespite some overly long performance footage, it's an interesting and entertaining look at a world most barely know. |
| ScotsmanAlistair HarknessPart front-row peepshow, part history lesson, new documentary Burlesque Undressed is actually more of an extended promo for its producer and star, Immodesty Blaize, than a serious attempt to examine the resilience of burlesque over the years. |
