Paul Verhoeven’s Showgirls (1995) 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.

Reviews
For trash-cinema aficionados, Jeffrey McHale's feature debut doc is a raucous hoot that also generates a grudging appreciation.
- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Gives the legendary Hollywood bomb its due: as a camp classic, and maybe even as a good movie whose heroine's short-fused electricity was ahead of its time.
- Owen Gleiberman, Variety
