    Absolutely amazing, honest and sweet documentary

    I rarely like documentaries about famous people because it almost always seems like this big ego thing. I promised myself just five minutes of this documentary to see what Pamela looks like now. I'm a middle aged woman, I grew up with this famous lady and we believed what the media told us. Back then we did. Not now anymore. We're older and wiser. I guess And today at the start of the documentary I was expecting to see something entirely different than what I got. And this truly amazing portrait of Pamela, this honest and sweet woman, mesmerized me. I'm so glad this was made for us to see. Pamela, what a truly remarkable human being you are. Xox.

    Pamela has definitely had an interesting life.

    This was actually a very interesting and well made documentary.

    It moves fast and it tells Pamela's life story from her point of view.

    For a celebrity documentary I'd give it an 8/10.

    Pamela seems like a very genuine, likable person and a good mother. There's so much I never knew about her.

    I was surprised to learn some of the details about her past - for instance that she was in debt most of her life and she was never good with managing her money.

    I also thought she had been married 2 times, but it was actually 6.

    In the end I like that the film doesn't portray Pamela as a victim. She seems to own it all and make the most of it.

    Her story is not a "woe is me" story

    I didn't know much about Pamela Anderson Lee outside of the sex icon, Baywatch, and her marrying rocker Tommy Lee, so wasn't sure what to expect. Her story is inspiring, it's honest, transparent and makeup-free. She's a survivor and her story is an unabashed, unscripted tale of survival. Much respect to you, Pamela, for this sneak peek into your past, present and future. Your legacy isn't going to be that horrible tape but the two beautiful, loving sons you've raised so well. My hat's off to you, ma'am.

    Beautiful

    At first I wondered why is this called "A love story", but once I watched, I understood. Her story is so raw, but also romantic. Pamela is such a sweet hearted woman, despite everything she has been through. She is clearly such a good Mother who would do anything for her kids. You watch this and love just pours at you from the screen. Every word she says. She's not bitter, she could be, most people would, but she's just kind. She's goofy, her smile lights you up inside. This is a love story about all the love Pamela Anderson has given and continues to give everyone in her life. It's a shame that she was exploited so much for so many years and even to this day. I am so glad this documentary was done so tastefully. It was truly poetic. Worth watching for certain. Pamela Anderson is just a lovable soul. She's timeless, too. Before watching this, I aspired to have her beauty. But now I aspire to have her childlike optimism and her kind heart. By the time you finish this documentary you'll be in love with this amazing woman.

    She is the best

    I think a lot of people out there can relate to her and her life. Not that they are famous etc, but the human stuff every human goes through. All the hardship, trauma, childhood, love, career and life etc.

    This documentary was really good, and better than I thought it would be.

    Pamela is such a sweetheart, she is such a lovely person. This was the first documentary that I had seen about her. I had no idea that she is this down-to-earth sweetheart.

    As she is telling her story and going through all the stuff that she went through, you can sense those emotions too. When she was telling the stories about her having fun, you felt joy watching this and when she told the dark stories of hardship, you felt sadness.

    I love that we got to see that soft side of her.

    100% I recommend you see this!
