Movie Reviews of Dancing at the Blue Iguana
Movie Review: An unforgettable movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say this movie is one of my favorite movies. The sense of loneleiness and longing, and the realness this movies portrays in the lives of five strippers, has made this movie one of the best, especially dealing with sensitive topics such as stripping and stereotyping and cliches. The acting and character portrayals were all phenomenal, and the soundtrack alone was awesome. You felt you knew these five women, and that you could perhaps be their friend. You are sucked into the world of stripping and the atmosphere at the Blue Iguana. The gritty scenes and glimpses of L.A., and the lifestyles of the girls, adds to the realism of their lives, the loneliness, the struggles, and the reality of a life most people wonder about. I am very picky about the movies I like. I cannot stand it when movies depict for instance, poverty, but then the furnishings that the so-called "poor" character has, are not realistic. This movie does none of that. There is no shallowness, no overly glamorous shots or depictions. This movie draws you into a world like no other, and you find yourself going back.
Summary of Dancing at the Blue Iguana
At the Blue Iguana, in the heart of LA's San Fernando Valley, the lives of five strip club dancers converge over the course of one week. Angel (Daryl Hannah), attempts to qualify as a foster mother; Jasmine (Sandra Oh), is a clandestine poet who finds love at a coffee house reading; Jo (Jennifer Tilly), faces an unplanned pregnancy; Stormy (Sheila Kelley), confronts her bewildering past and Jesse (Charlotte Ayanna) gets a tough introduction to life in LA. This glimpse into the oft-misunderstood world of the strip club bares each girl inside and out both onstage and off, providing an insight to the story behind the dance.Drama DVD Video
