Blonde (2022)
5/10
Be prepared for a slog
10 February 2023
This movie is not a documentary, and is not even really a biopic. Still, to watch this, you are left thinking that Norma Jeane / Marilyn Monroe was a doormat, allowing one bad thing after another. Only once in this nearly three hour movie did Marilyn ever push back, but we don't know whether or not she was successful.

No doubt her life was troubled, and no doubt whe was exploited, taken advantage of, and abandoned by several people who claimed to "love" her. There is no question that her life ended tragically. This movie, though, made her seem as if she never had a happy day in her life.

On the positive, Ana de Aramis is fantastic as Marilyn Monroe. I recommend this movie if only to watch de Aramis.
