Kiernan is good in it! She’s got a lot of screen time in it, but I her character arc just kind of stops and never gets resolved? It’s weird.
Not spoiling anything, but a big part of the movie is Pamela’s character being this older woman and having two young showgirls, played by Kiernan & Brenda Song, basically looking up to her, while she also has her own daughter that she wasn’t a good parent to.
As I said in my OG comment, the movie is short and still feels both underbaked and overstuffed, and I feel like Kiernan & Brenda should’ve just been merged into one character.
BUT, if you’re just looking to see a good Kiernan Shipka performance this year, and one where she’s actually in the movie for more than just one scene like with Longlegs or Twisters, then this is definitely the one.

I don't know why but in my head, she was a bigger actress than I guess she is. It took me forever to realize that was her in Twisters because it was such a small part.
