Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film is based on the 2000 novel "Blonde" by Joyce Carol Oates, which is a fictionalized account inspired by the life of Marilyn Monroe, not an actual biography. Oates insisted that the novel is a work of fiction that should not be regarded as a biography. Oates said that she didn't have anything to do with the making of this film, though once in a while, director Andrew Dominik would get in contact with her, and that she was given an almost-final cut in 2020 and she has praised the film ever since. The novel had been previously adapted into a two-part miniseries: Blonde (2001), starring Poppy Montgomery as Monroe.
- GoofsMarilyn greets the Secret Service agents at her door with: "You were expecting maybe Mother Teresa?" Mother Teresa had not gained international recognition in 1962. It's highly doubtful Marilyn would have known who she was.
- Quotes
Norma Jeane: Marilyn doesn't exist. When I come out of my dressing room, I'm Norma Jeane. I'm still her when the camera is rolling. Marilyn Monroe only exists on the screen.

Just Another Disappointment
Ana de Armas gave a good acting performance here and she really looks like Marilyn Monroe.
But that's the only good thing about this pretentious movie that I couldn't even finish watching. Normally, I immediately give such films the worst rating, but the acting deserved one star.
The direction is solid, the music is not bad, but that doesn't mean anything because the script is disastrously pretentious.
The film is a typical product of today's "modern film production", an unwatchable pretentious disaster. What a waste of talent of good actors.
The film is unnecessarily disgusting, one more in a series of disappointments, it no longer makes sense to pay a subscription, because almost everything from the new production is unwatchable.
There is absolutely nothing interesting and fun in the movie, just a tiresome repetition of how everything is bad and depressing and everyone is disgusting. The film is roughly like that, and it's also unbearably pretentious.
Just another boring, pretentious and unwatchable movie that takes itself too seriously.
