I don't think I have ever 1-starred any film in my life. But this sucks. It's horrible. There's no substance. How can they call this a "thriller?" I don't think this qualifies for a comedy, let alone a drama as nothing happens - ever. This is literally ONE important scene dragged out for 90 minutes. I'll save you some time: the secretary is jealous of the pretty girl who's (possibly) the victim of a cad of a bigtime movie director which she reports to a dismissive HR department. That. Is. It. If you enjoy shadowing someone at work - all day - with nothing interesting happening, this is for you. Basically, you follow the actress (who does a great job with facial expressions) from her 5am morning through to the end of her day when she phones her parents to wish her dad a happy birthday. Nothing happens during the movie except this. That's all it is. Nothing to see here, move along.

This was unreasonably painful to watch. This imaginative film - and that’s all it is, imagination - was based on JCO’s (also completely fictional) book about Marilyn Monroe. It’s so grossly far-fetched, they might as well have painted Monroe as having been raised by wolves and giving birth to the pope. It basically runs through her life at warp speed, exposes mini moments and rewrites those moments into the most insane series of fictional events to create in the viewer, an idea of what certain situations may have felt like to her fragile psyche. The timeline was accurate, but that’s all. There was absolutely zero truth in the so-called events contained within this disaster. They had her call her husbands “Daddy” to drill into the viewer that she felt like she needed a father figure due to her biological father’s lifelong absence. This Marilyn also has a Cuban accent and an ongoing three-way affair with 2 actors she barely knew in life. The constant switch from black and white to color and absurd dialogue gives a kind of poorly executed student film vibe. We don’t need to see our beloved screen goddess in this fantastical, grossly inept, nearly pornographic light. Why not just portray her as a rabid, winged, rain forest dwelling monster, as that would’ve been a far more accurate depiction. I don’t even think this disaster could, let alone should, be called a film. The real Norma didn’t breathy-speak and didn’t behave like a confused, fearful moron. The real Norma was whip-smart, witty, thoughtful and kind, even cynical at times and stressed to the max. Was she exploited? Traumatized? Yes, but she knew exactly what she was doing and she played the game, probably better than anyone else in Hollywood ever has. To paint her in the light this ‘Blonde’ thrusts her into, it’s insulting. I’m surprised this was allowed to even be shown, let alone made.

Just wow. I’m saddened for the victims and their loved ones. I’m heartbroken for all whose lives Dahmer ever entered. The story will make you cry for the victims and their families. I sure did. As far as this series goes, the accuracy is uncanny. I remember this as it unfolded in the early 1990s and this series was about as accurate as it gets. It is unbelievable how accurate they got it. Every last detail, right down to the music played in those clubs was an exact match. I don’t know how they did it. The acting was stellar. The portrayal of Dahmer, down to his walk, mannerisms, his voice inflection, it was like watching the real Dahmer speak. The set duplicated Dahmer’s apartment down to the smallest details. Even the beer cans and pop tops were the right shape, the logos on the Orange Crush drinks, someone really paid attention here. The previous Dahmer documentary films pale in comparison as this series shows what a deranged thing he really was. They should have compensated the victims’ families for this series in my opinion. It was, however, the most accurate documentation of the events. It gave a true look into the case, including how the authorities simply dismissed the victims. It was not as gory as I’d expected (thank goodness!) I found myself crying for the neighbors and especially for the victims and their families. I feel like there should be more done to memorialize the victims and help the families. And those authorities, they should be made to adequately answer for their crimes. Lives could’ve been saved had the neighbors and victims been only heard.
