What is it about?
Follows the story of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's relationship, going back to their whirlwind romance that started with them marrying after only knowing each other for 96 hours in 1995.
My verdict:
To be honest, I actually had some mixed feelings about this miniseries. I mean, sure, the transformation undertaken by Lily James and Sebastian Stan was quite impressive but, seriously, did this tale really require more than 5 hours of running time? Furthermore, I understand that one of their goals was to rehabilitate Pamela Anderson and to show how she was the biggest victim in this scandal. However, I also understand why Anderson refused to be be involved since the damned thing was still terribly exploitative. I mean, for example, during the first 4 episodes, Lily James barely had any dialogue but she still managed to be topless on numerous occasions. Furthermore, to show Rand Gauthier as some seemingly harmless doofus was probably not the best approach. At least, Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee made for one incredibly cute couple and you wish this scandal didn't seriously jeopardize the chances their couple had to ever work. 3 years ago

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it is considered as a major classic (among other things, it is included in the ‘ 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die’ list), I was quite eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, I really had a hard time to connect with the dam” read more

“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it has been a while since I have seen a movie which was so completely all over the place. Indeed, it was dealing with living on Mars, the firs” read more

“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a pretty cool cast involved, I was quite eager to check it out. First of all, it was definitely one of the best titles I ever came across (in fact, it doesn’t mean anything and it has no link with the movie its” read more

Notes: The damned thing turned out to be quite sad and depressing, that’s for sure. Eventually, the most nauseating thing, at least for me, was the toxic masculinity constantly surrounding these poor girls. Seriously, it was pretty much everywhere, at school, at work, at home, in the public transports, … Even the seemingly gentle guy in the bus had a rather creepy agenda and helped them out just because he wanted to ‘score’. Of course, you might argue that not all guys are so bad but I’m afraid this description might not to be so far from reality. Concerning the whole abortion thing, well, it’s rather sad that, after years of women fighting to have the rights to make their own choices regarding their own body, it seems that the US are now going backwards on this matter. What they seem to forget is that an abortion will always be a traumatic experience and, by making the whole process more and more awkward and complicated, it only makes the whole experience even more awful for all these poor girls and women, as displayed in this movie. Still, even if the movie was well made and newcomers Sidney Flanigan and Talia Ryder both gave some really strong performances, was this movie much better than any other movies dealing with teenager abortion released during the last 30 years? Indeed, at the end of the day, it was a little bit dry and the fact that you never get to learn these two girls outside this major tragedy probably didn’t help. Anyway, it was still a really solid drama though.3 years ago
