Burlesque Undressed Ratings & Reviews
Total Film
Tom Dawson
That Blaize is also the producer might explain the absence of any dissenting voices in a work which seems happy to act as a cheerleader for her career.
Radio Times
Sloan Freer
Grist's attempts to dissect the subject actually take away its sparkle, scarcely doing justice to the talents featured, and making even Blaize's most elaborate routines feel rather flat and unerotic.
Daily Express (UK)
Allan Hunter
Immodesty Blaize goes behind the tassels and sequins to discover the appeal and comes to the far-from-earth-shattering conclusion that it's all about harmless fantasy.
FHM [UK]
Luke Edwards
A whole film of burlesque dancers doing burlesque dancing and talking about burlesque dancing. How can it possibly fail?
ViewLondon
Matthew Turner
Works well as a sort of Beginner's Guide to Burlesque, even if it does also occasionally feel like an ad for the (admittedly spectacular-looking) Tease Show.
Scotsman
Alistair Harkness
Part front-row peepshow, part history lesson, new documentary Burlesque Undressed is actually more of an extended promo for its producer and star, Immodesty Blaize, than a serious attempt to examine the resilience of burlesque over the years.
Little White Lies
Limara Salt
Despite some overly long performance footage, it's an interesting and entertaining look at a world most barely know.
Independent (UK)
Anthony Quinn
This perfectly pleasant celebration of burlesque would look better as a late-night documentary on E4; on the big screen its impact feels rather lost.
Empire Magazine
Liz Beardsworth
Peeping behind the curtain seems a little inappropriate in the world of Burlesque, but this is a charming introduction the art form.
London Evening Standard
Charlotte O'Sullivan
Purportedly offering a slice of cultural history, this documentary is basically a big plug for fancy-schmancy "neo-burlesque" stripper Immodesty Blaize. Shameless stuff and about as sexy as a poke in the groin with a blunt stick.
Times (UK)
Kevin Maher
A startlingly sycophantic documentary about the art of stripping that is produced by its central subject.
Guardian
Peter Bradshaw
It's a bit of a promo-showreel for IB's live show, but cheerfully entertaining nonetheless.
Times (UK)
Edward Porter
Alison Grist's documentary is a history of the theatrical art of burlesque.
Time Out
Ben Walters
Overall, this is a solid if scattershot primer on a scene that seems here to stay.
