The actor candidly talks about her infamous sex tape, romantic relationships and fighting misogyny in Ryan White's latest documentary.

| Jun 10, 2024

Having Anderson tell her story helps give the film a balance between the self-imposed fame and some of the later hypocrisies in her brushes with and support of invaded privacy that results in a better personal doc than a fully introspective one.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 26, 2023

Although her story is tragic, Pamela Anderson and Ryan White bring a sense of romance to her recap that feels like an exercise in meditation and a tale of ownership rather than a documentary.

When a person’s career has been defined by surface-level sensationalism, you’d think that the goal here would be clarity.

| Original Score: C | May 29, 2023

A well-done low-key documentary on the sexpot former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson.

| Original Score: B | May 5, 2023

Along with talking heads from her friends and loved ones and archival footage, Pam: A Love Story is frank, open and without pretense.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 17, 2023

Steadfastly refusing to play victim, Anderson acquits herself admirably..It’s such a sincere and honest profile even those who derided her during her peak will likely cede to her the respect she’s worked hard for and clearly hasn’t enjoyed until recently.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 23, 2023

[Pamela's] still in love with love and we can't help but cheer her on in her brief moment of resurgence, and the fabulous final moments elevate what, otherwise, would've been a simple albeit competent documentary. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 17, 2023

Pamela ultimately offers a cautionary tale about the danger of writing people off.

| Feb 15, 2023

As a thoughtful chronicle of the ups and downs of her life, Ryan White’s film plays slightly as a retread that amplifies the public’s love story with redemption arcs more than it offers anything that has not already been revealed to the world.

I liked it, but I didn't think it was comprehensive, though... I do feel like we're not getting deep enough.

She's a consequential figure, and this movie tells us why.

| Feb 10, 2023

This documentary is the first time Pamela Anderson shows herself as she is, through her vices, flaws, and mistakes. [Full review in Spanish]

| Feb 10, 2023

While she doesn’t flinch from admitting her flaws, Anderson also embraces the chance to set the record straight about her life and infamous tabloid scandals.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 10, 2023

Anderson has a natural talent for storytelling. While, as always, there's a gloss on her version of events, particularly when it comes to her tumultuous relationship with Tommy Lee, she will be the first person to admit as such.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 10, 2023

Pamela, a Love Story joins a series of documentaries that seek to deconstruct an image built in other times and reflect upon it with more humanity... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 7, 2023

The appearance is a far cry from her carefully-crafted image of the past, and it seems to suggest that viewers should expect authenticity from her in these taped interviews.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 7, 2023

Netflix’s Pamela: A Love Story is a quietly defiant response.

| Feb 7, 2023

... A show about life after being a sex symbol, and it is riveting.

| Feb 6, 2023

It suggests, brutally, that shows like Pam and Tommy exist more to let us indulge our titillated fascination with old scandals than to make any kind of principled stand against misogyny.
