All over the place and a mess.
2 out of 5 stars.
Blonde is a biographical film about the life of Marilyn Monroe from the moments of her childhood to her rise to fame and downfall. The script and direction tries to cross boundaries with its graphic and detailed look of Monroes life. From being sexually abused in relationships. And how she was treated. The film tries to be very artsy with its direction. It turns out dull and tedious. The only best thing about the film is Ana de Armas performance. She delivered a great performance as Marilyn Monroe and her performance is the only positive thing. The film is long. Boring. And the direction is a mess with its narrative structure.
