‘The Deliverance’: How Netflix Viewers Responded To Glenn Close’s Portrayal Of A Bimbo Named Alberta
Lee Daniels tried to warn everybody before The Deliverance dropped on Netflix: "Y'all are not ready for Glenn in this."
The director is talking about Glenn Close, who plays the chain-smoking, cancer-riddled mother of Andra Day in the film that’s inspired by real events. The story is inspired by the 2011 case of Latoya Ammons, who moved with her family into a scary Indiana rental that ultimately required an exorcism by a priest. While promoting The Deliverance, Daniels talked about the uniqueness of Close’s larger than life character, who goes from braiding her daughter’s hair while watching Valley Of the Dolls on TV to trying to pick up her male nurse (Omar Epps) while getting a dose of chemotherapy.
