Showgirls is the perfect movie. It’s as hilarious and shocking as it is genuinely enthralling. I’m laughing both at and with it. It’s exactly the right level of homoerotic—a consistent undercurrent of implicit sapphic energy without making any clumsy dated statements. I love how ridiculously kind and forgiving Molly is, it’s the ultimate feminine solidarity wish fulfillment. It’s an extremely sensorial movie, I can practically taste it with all the bright colors and environmental details. The outfits are gorgeous and the 90s camera makes glitter and rhinestones look fucking ethereal. The women are stunning, but most importantly, they’re the only characters whose decisions actually matter. Every male character is a trophy, an obstacle, or some other kind of plot device. It’s all girls and glitter and drama and homoeroticism and it might be one of my favorite movies ever I’m so serious
