Deadline Pete Hammond said: “Anderson is remarkable in this role, which suits her own natural optimism but also gives her the opportunity to lay bare her emotions. She will break your heart.

Pamela last appeared on screen in the 2017 film adaptation of Baywatch, in which she briefly reprized her iconic role of CJ Parker.
Once she got her hands on Kate Gersten’s script, she said she was immediately drawn to the character, who takes her art form very seriously despite everyone reducing her to a sexual object.
“I’ve never read a script that had me reacting like that; no one sent me anything like that,” she said. ‘I read it and thought: I have to do this. It’s life or death. It’s very important.’
At the film’s premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, she said she had been “preparing for this role my whole life.”
“Having a beautiful, messy life is an incredible thing to draw from, and sometimes I look back on my life and think, I could have done this differently, but it takes the life experience to be able to look back and see those things to be able to say,” she said.
“I really love the craft of acting and I took a lot of private lessons and ultimately I felt like this was an opportunity for me to put that into practice,” she added.
Pamela recently worked on The Last Showgirl, for which she received her first-ever Golden Globe nomination
Anderson added that she was able to focus “a thousand percent” on the project since she is single and her two sons are grown.
‘I have nothing to lose. And what if this is the last movie I ever make, or the only movie I ever make?’
She said she saw the role as an opportunity to “see what I’m made of.”
“I knew I was capable of more than I had in the past, and I had kind of given up and went home and thought, ‘Oh, it’s too bad. I screwed up.’ I didn’t work hard enough, or people just see me a certain way because I fell into the traps,” she said.
‘I want to be defined by what I do and not by what has been done to me.’
