| Seventh RowLaura Anne HarrisA film about burlesque can't be all feathers and fluff. It needs to examine all aspects of the art form to add nuance and humanity to the film's subjects. |
| Georgia StraightKen EisnerEven the most outlandish, oak-aged figures here reward the time spent with them as they ponder various stages of the sometimes sexy pantomime called life. |
| User ReviewAmanda CThe women of League of Exotique Dancers provide vibrant and enthusiastic subjects. Although their burlesque days are behind them, they all look back fondly. Director Rama Rau has gathered an array of burlesque legends all with very different ideas of what burlesque is and how it operates as a feminist art form. Rau's subjects include every one from a sweet little old lady who refuses to walk around naked even when she's alone, to a working dominatrix. League of Exotique Dancers gives us a look at the vast arrays of people and personalities who found freedom and joy in the strip tease. It is a wonderful celebration of femininity and the female body being reclaimed by women as an active force. |
