this movie is terrible it's completely incoherent jumping back and forth it kind of rambles

The cinematography is great, even mesmerizing at times, Ana de Armas was pretty good (despite the accent), and Adrien Brody seemed like a natural to play Arthur Miller. However, the film is kind of a mess. It jumps around in an incoherent way. Everything sort of gets lost in it.

It pretty much just jumps from tragic event to tragic event. It felt like an endless slog of misery. I feel like they could've written Norma Jeane/Marilyn better. They make her come off as unintelligent, with daddy issues. But they fail to show how intelligent she truly was. They don't really show how she took charge of her career, and eventually started her own production company.

I absolutely hate the 4:3 aspect ratio and even more that this movie jumps between different aspects at various times.

I had higher hopes regarding the storytelling. Not worth watching.

Worst movie i have seen this year, it's not biopic , it's crazy noire slow slow motion movie, that could have ended in 20 minutes..at the end of the movie what have you learned about Norma ? nothing..
Isn't anyone alive from her state to sue them for this crap i just watched.

Ana de Armas is stunning in this film but that's about it. The never-ending sequences of tragedy were depressing and that's not even the worst part of it. A movie about a woman who was so terribly treated by the industry, the press and the men around her should've never been done like this, in the most voyeuristic way possible. The scene [spoiler]where she's unwillingly performing oral sex on JFK [/spoiler] was absolutely unnecessary. No women directors or producers would ever include such a scene, or, even if they did, it would've never been in such a disrespectful way.
And to top all that, [spoiler]the ridiculous anatomy-class type of videos of fetus and the shots filmed as if from the inside of her vagina.[/spoiler] Again, so completely disrespectful, poor taste, gross. This film tries so hard to be hip, artsy, cult and it's just damn awful.

Did not expect a threesome scene straight out of Interstellar.

No but seriously. Esthetically and cinematography wise this movie is amazing. Looks absolutely stunning and we almost do it a disservice not watching it on the big screen.

Ana de Armas is absolutely incredible in this. Definitely gonna be Oscar nominated.

But script and story wise it was waaay too drawn out. Maybe it's just an artsy style that I don't get but I was pretty bored at times.

Wow! As a lifelong fan, easily the best biopic of Marilyn. Amazing to look at, each outfit (and sometimes every pose) is carefully chosen from one of a thousand images we have all seen, giving a feeling of familiarity to every shot. A dark and sometimes disturbing look at a Monroe we often suspected dwelt behind the stunning façade of (until Diana) the most famous and photographed woman of the century. Ana de Armas is brilliant as the troubled star, so good you can almost believe it's actually her, especially in her eyes that have that sad, haunted look sometimes caught in photos of the real Marilyn. In the end a moving and terribly sad portrait of a tragic, flawed, iconic beauty. A must see!

Plays like an indulgent student film with somewhat better acting. The whole thing is an overdrawn montage of moments where the filmmaker is trying to be "creative" or "shocking" instead of actually doing anything that moves an audience forward with story. Not my kinda thing for sure (and a bit of an insult to make it that long on top of it all)

Fantastic cinematography, especially the stylish black and white scenes. Besides the visuals, Ana de Armas is also the movie's second-best part, even though I would say 70% of the performance was her either crying or being nude.

However, I'm not sure what to feel about this one. It felt a bit...one note. I mean, before seeing it, I wanted to go in with the benefit of the doubt, but after watching it, there were some questionable and alarming choices the movie made that I can't ignore it.

I really couldn’t enjoy this movie—first off, it has too many inaccuracies & second of all, they made the movie unnecessarily long. 3/10.

what's up with review-bombing of this film?

Just saw Blonde at the Festival de Deauville in presence of Ana de Armas and Andrew Dominik. The film was great and Ana in particular was incredible. Her performance as Marilyn Monroe is breathtaking. ANA DE ARMAS IS COMING FOR THAT OSCAR!!!
