The film leans heavily into the atmosphere of the swinging '60s, mixing a sense of voyeurism with a touch of social commentary. The pacing is brisk, making it feel like a time capsule of sorts, showcasing Keeler's provocative striptease amidst a backdrop of political intrigue. It's fascinating how it attempts to weave her story with the broader themes of fame and betrayal, even if the execution is a bit uneven. Performances are not exactly Oscar-worthy, but there’s something compelling about Keeler herself that keeps your attention.
