“The Last Showgirl” (2024) is a poignant drama directed by Gia Coppola and written by Kate Gersten. Starring Pamela Anderson in a career-defining role as Shelly Gardner, the film explores the struggles of a seasoned Las Vegas showgirl grappling with the impending closure of her long-running revue, Le Razzle Dazzle. Jamie Lee Curtis delivers a standout performance as Annette, Shelly’s best friend and confidante, while Dave Bautista and Billie Lourd bring depth as the show’s producer and Shelly’s estranged daughter, respectively.

Better Man

“Better Man” (2024) is an innovative biographical musical film about British pop star Robbie Williams, directed by Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman). The film’s bold narrative choice to portray Williams as a CGI chimpanzee—motion-captured by Jonno Davies—adds a surreal twist to this exploration of his rise to fame with Take That, solo career, and personal struggles with addiction and depression.

A Complete Unknown

James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown (2024) chronicles the early career of Bob Dylan, culminating in his controversial electric performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.

The ensemble cast includes Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Elle Fanning as Dylan’s girlfriend, and Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez. This film is a must-watch for Dylan fans and music lovers alike.

I’m Not There (2007) remains a unique and experimental biopic about Bob Dylan. Directed by Todd Haynes, the film features six different actors—including Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale, and Heath Ledger—portraying various facets of Dylan’s enigmatic persona. Its kaleidoscopic storytelling and creative structure offer an unparalleled cinematic experience.
