Review of Blonde

Blonde (2022)
8/10
A good film is you accept it's fictional.

I don't have a real problem with any part of this being inaccurate. It needn't be truthful. I understand that so many Marilyn Monroe fans are butt-hurt over it portraying her as a constant victim and the film being relentlessly depressing. Perhaps this represents how she felt. Perhaps it's representative of the exploitative and abusive relationships she had with people, situations and substances. I don't really care. It was saddening and engaging for me. Ana de Armas did a thoroughly amazing job in so many ways. The film was stylish enough to just take it at face value for the sort of horror film it was even if you detach the real life person from this story.

For how well the film was made, it is perhaps slightly unfortunate that so much of it was complete fictional fabrication though.
