A Comedic Redemption Story

Diving deep into the evolution of a cult classic, director Jeffrey McHale’s wildly entertaining documentary offers up an affectionate look at the journey of Paul Verhoeven’s trashtastic showbiz saga Showgirls, as it overcame a disastrous theatrical release to find a following amongst a community of adoring fans.

In tracing Showgirls' journey from notorious flop to cult classic and unlikely artistic resurrection, You Don’t Nomi takes a thought-provoking and entertaining look at an unforgettable piece of American popular culture and the surprising ways we connect with film and each other.
