Trail By Trailer is judging a book by its cover or in this case…a movie by its trailer. Are you 100% IN or is it a Hard Pass?
“Paul Verhoeven’s Showgirls was met by critics and audiences with near universal derision. You Don’t Nomi traces the film’s redemptive journey from notorious flop to cult classic, and maybe even masterpiece.”
