Matt Roush says...

This blonde most definitely does not have more fun. Neither does the filmgoer in Andrew Dominik’s grueling wallow in psychosexual misery, whose primary asset is Ana de Armas (Knives Out), heartbreaking and stunning as she astonishingly transforms into movie icon Marilyn Monroe. Some 60 years after her untimely death at 36, Marilyn continues to fascinate, and while Blonde (based on Joyce Carol Oates’ novel, and most definitely not a traditional biopic) accentuates the cruelty and abuse the former Norma Jeane suffered while maintaining her glamorous sex-symbol Hollywood persona, de Armas mostly maintains her dignity with an emotionally committed performance. Bobby Cannavale (as never-named baseball legend Joe DiMaggio) and Adrien Brody (as sensitive playwright Arthur Miller) are the primary “daddy” figures in her troubled romantic life. If screenwriter-director Dominik had matched his star in restraint, Blonde might not feel like such an ordeal to sit through.
