Not a single glandular release from her striking eyes seems disingenuous. In depicting one icon, Blonde may have just launched another with its lead actress. Read more

Whether or not it tells the true story, I’m not sure either, but it’s such a tragic and torturous portrait that it’s hard to really look at without feeling the pain that permeates it from minute one. Nevertheless, I think both the person Norma Jeane and the icon Marilyn Monroe deserve better than what this film ultimately is. Read more

Marilyn Monroe is a fantastic subject for a great biopic. Unfortunately, this isn’t it. Yes, it has moments of artistic style that take your breath away. But it’s just so unremittingly grim that I can’t recommend it as a good one to watch. Read more

A respectable movie exists somewhere within all the repetition and dawdling artistry, but Dominik’s cut can’t manage to single that out, instead leaving a prolonged, unsatisfying fictionalization of all of Marilyn Monroe’s most unattractive details – and of the most unpleasant rumors. Read more

The direction of Andrew Dominik has some flashes of inspiration but is not to die for, while the script portrays the star almost as a dumb, without penetrating the woman's heart. Read more

By portraying Monroe solely as a victim, the film removes her agency. The actress is always held up as a counterpoint to the dumb blonde stereotype, given how well read and seemingly intelligent she was, but the movie never conveys this side of the star. Read more

Ham-fisted and not worth your time. This is perhaps, the biggest disappointment of the year. So much potential squandered. Read more

Ana de Armas is een ware revelatie als Marilyn Monroe/Norma Jeane in Blonde dankzij het prachtige camerawerk van Andrew Dominik & Chayse Irvin. Read more

Blonde is een zwalkende en onevenwichtige film over het leven van de legendarische actrice en sekssymbool Marilyn Monroe. Ana de Armas kruipt op onnavolgbare wijze in de huid van Monroe, maar haar toewijding aan die rol kan niet verbloemen dat Blonde als film bijzonder slecht in elkaar steekt. Read more

Wat opvalt is hoe weinig Blonde ons vertelt over het leven van Monroe. Haar verhaal wordt verteld in flarden, waardoor de transformatie van Norma Jeane tot de iconische Marilyn Monroe vrijwel geheel buiten beeld blijft. Read more
