Atrocious, pseudo intellectual movie.Almost bordering on melodrama,the director tries too hard,falls too short.Not a beautiful movie at all!.. Someone wrote a shining 5 star review over here stating it didn't go down well with critics because it's not Woke.The story is not even human!It's a dehumanizing treatment of an iconic actress with a tragic life story.This movie is vulgar,obscene,crude and depraved! It's a sadistic, pornographic retelling of Marilyn Monroe's life.It even justifies domestic violence.The narrative in the story is,just because she exposed her panties to leering men,she got beaten up by her enfuriated husband ;instead of showing it as an awful abuse by an insecure,jealous man whose ego is hurt as he is overshadowed by his wife's fame and success.The distorted faces of the men in the all male crowd is just cheap sensationalism.There must have been many men,women and children who truly admired her beauty and talent instead of just lechers sexually objectifying her.The colposcopic shots in the movie is just a plain perversion of the director serving no artistic purpose.The movie is just deeply disturbing(not moving) on many levels.If Discovery Channel made a porn movie,it will be The Blonde.Infact,what have I subscribed to ?Pornhub or Netflix??
