As a Marilyn's fan and as a woman I felt terribly disgusted and ofended by this movie. What was that? A complete morbid fiction film about a real human being. Marilyn is portrayed here as a weak, stupid, never-ending abused, hysterical woman, when in fact she was deeply courageous (as Arthur Miller said once), intelligent, bright, elegant, and a superb great wonderful actress. Marilyn was a vivid reader, something not very common in American culture, and she had a personal library of 400 books, but, surprise surprise, the movie never shows her reading one single book but keeps portraying her like a stupid non-capable-of-making-her-own-choices abused object. The film is another exploitation of Norma Jean: lots of nudes (which Marilyn would have surely refused -and that Ana de Armas happily agreed to do -poor her, well, that's sadly where the money and the fame goes nowadays). We all know that Marilyn had a terrible terrible terrible childhood, but the facts in the film are all changed and many are invented (it looks like the director took pleasure in Norma's suffering as a child and enjoyed making a horror movie from her childhood). That obsession with a "father" who was never ever presence in Norma's life is just something morbid and nonsense in the film. Ana de Armas' performance is great, but her accent is not and, that, in a movie about a real person, so famous and known as Marilyn, is a real pity (but since the whole movie is invented, it doesn't really matter that Marilyn speaks English with an Spanish accent). What we actually see in the movie is Ana trying to portray Marilyn, but never Marilyn. Adrien Brody was magnificent as Arthur Miller, great accent, brilliant performance, but he doesn't appear much in the movie. There are many graphic scenes completely unnecessary. The revolting scene with JFK tries to show a Marilyn without any personality and any choice: that scene is really an insult to Marilyn. Portraying women as objects is something that always made me puke. Blonde could have been a really good movie if it were actually based on Norma Jean's and Marilyn Monroe's life and if the director & (horrific) writer would have had an inch of respect and admiration for Marilyn as a woman, human being and actress; instead, this is a twisted, dirty, and dark horror film, the ultimately spit to the great and brilliant Norma Jean & Marilyn Monroe. 2/10 (1 point for Adrien Brody; 1 point for cinematography).
