| Toronto StarLinda BarnardOften poignant and occasionally heartbreaking, Storm (who still looks good and can work a shimmy despite breaking a hip a while back), sticks her chin out and quotes Muhammad Ali: "I'm still the greatest." |
| NOW TorontoNorman Wilner[Director Nimisha Mukerji nudges] aside her subject's brassy burlesque persona to reveal a woman working to reconcile the various versions of herself that she's worn and discarded over the years. |
| Globe and MailJohanna SchnellerMainly, the film suffers because Storm is not at all introspective. It's all access and no insight. |
| National PostMatt BobkinWhile these elements on paper seem to explore the precarious balance between career and commitment, they don't thematically coalesce until the end of the film - long after it should have been played for more effect. |
| User ReviewKaetlyn RGreat documentary with a look into burlesque legend Tempest Storm's life. The highs and lows she experienced and the choices she made. Highly recommend this doc. |
| User ReviewOnur ÖA rollercoaster ride of emotions! Very well done! Captures the real life events of Tempest! |
| User Reviewsujala rThe film was a reminder that fame comes with a price, that aging is never easy, and forgiveness is important. As Tempest herself puts it "we all have forgiveness, but you have to give the person a chance to forgive you". Now that is one classy lady! Loved the film! |
