It's genuinely moving to watch Pamela Anderson in this role. Her character, “Shelley,” presents herself as an elegant performer who views her work as a form of artistic expression, often adorned with elaborate feather costumes and jewelry. She’s distanced from her daughter, “Hannah” (Billie Lourd), and through their difficult connection, we begin to understand the numerous compromises she's made over the years—sacrifices Hannah interprets as abandonment rather than kindness. Things worsen when their stage manager, “Eddie” (Dave Bautista), informs them that declining attendance has led management to shut down the venue in two weeks. Facing an uncertain future, Shelley must try out for jobs in a highly competitive entertainment landscape while also attempting to repair her relationship with her daughter. Fortunately, or perhaps not, she receives ample guidance from her friend “Annette” (Jamie Lee Curtis), a longtime barmaid who shares similar experiences and has a fondness for margaritas, and is also struggling within an industry that prioritizes youth. It’s Curtis (and Bonnie Tyler) whose performance provides one of the film's most impactful moments as she dances on a table, revealing a fragility many may experience as they grow older and feel increasingly unnecessary—even in less visible professions. The fact that their careers haven’t yielded much success doesn't help either. This is fundamentally a story about growing older, and Anderson carries it with strength and emotional depth; while the plot itself isn't particularly substantial, the performances from the two lead actors are remarkably captivating.
