"Blonde" me fez admirar ainda mais o trabalho do diretor chileno Pablo Larraín, que nos filmes "Jackie" e "Spencer" soube andar por cima de uma perigosa linha, sem cair para o lado da crueldade gratuita.

Resumir toda uma vida em suas tragédias é bem sujo. E criticar a sexualização de uma estrela com cenas de nudez sem contexto de outra é hipocrisia.
Ana de Armas brilhou sozinha aqui. Ela merecia cair nas mãos do Pablo para um filme melhor sobre a Marilyn...… Expand

Excellent acting, but overdoes the painful moment’s in Marilyn’s life in a 3 hour movie badly in need of editing. Do we really need to see JFK porn, forceps abortions and vomiting to the camera to get the point across? I’d suggest no.

An Academy Award nominating performance by Ana de Armas. She not only performs the tough depressing role of playing Marilyn Monroe, but she embodies her. You almost start to believe that you are watching Marilyn herself. The movie,An Academy Award nominating performance by Ana de Armas. She not only performs the tough depressing role of playing Marilyn Monroe, but she embodies her. You almost start to believe that you are watching Marilyn herself. The movie, however, is a downer. The pacing is off. Plus, we really don't see how and why Marilyn became a such big star. I wouldn't watch it again.… Expand

Pretty bleak, I get the message but its delivery was very brutal and cruel. I know nothing of the historical facts at play here. Ana did will but that movie was so shallow.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ana De Armas nailed this role. She completely transformed into Marilyn. She embodies everything from her look, to her voice, to the way she moves. She deserves an Oscar for her performance. For those that don’t like the direction, it came from Marilyn’s own memoirs. Unless someone that was actually there disagrees this story could be spot on.… Expand

Ana De Armas stars as Marilyn Monroe in this biopic that serves as a fictionalized account of her troubled life based off a book by Joyce Carol Oates. The film almost immediately generated controversy over this due to the fact that the novelAna De Armas stars as Marilyn Monroe in this biopic that serves as a fictionalized account of her troubled life based off a book by Joyce Carol Oates. The film almost immediately generated controversy over this due to the fact that the novel infamously exploited and dehumanized Monroe through graphic and explicit sexual depictions of her. So it came as no surprise that this film received a rare and rather hardcore NC-17 rating, depicting everything ranging from smutty and objectifying sex scenes to implied rape and domestic abuse. While De Armas gives it her all, her rather obvious Cuban roots squeak in all too often through her accent throughout the film, try as she did to hide it. And while the film started out intriguing enough, with frequently changing aspect ratios and switching back and forth between black and white and color sequences, this quickly became a gimmicky and stylized crutch that the film fell back on all too often in order to overcompensate for its abstract narrative style. Overall, De Armas shines as bright as she can with what material she is given, but the film's downer mood and tone, rough and misogynistic handling of Monroe, an unearned rather lengthy runtime, and overuse of aspect ratio switch-ups and black and white/color sequences make this a thoroughly uneven and scattershot misfire of a film.… Expand

Visually I have no complaints. It's simply spectacular. But the script? That's where Blonde falls down.

But the script? That's where Blonde falls down. And when we're talking about a movie that's almost 3 hours long, the myth and the beauty of your production won't be enough to make it, and Blonde sadly proves it.

And as mentioned, the myth that Norma Jean has become since her death gets a different exploration here, but I'm not so sure that does her justice. After all, the examination and exploitation of her life and career has yielded so much material that it's now unclear where it begins and where it ends.

Ana de Armas delivers the performance of her life and I really have nothing to reproach her for, but in the end for me Blonde is a film that covers too much and doesn't really say anything that matters.… Expand

Much has been made about the facts vs. the fantasies in this musing on the life and career of Marilyn Monroe (from the novel by Joyce Carol Oates). Like last year's Spencer, which was a fantasy on Princess Diana (my review), writer/directorMuch has been made about the facts vs. the fantasies in this musing on the life and career of Marilyn Monroe (from the novel by Joyce Carol Oates). Like last year's Spencer, which was a fantasy on Princess Diana (my review), writer/director Andrew Dominik creates elaborate scenarios around Monroe's multiple tragedies (some verified and others not). Several of her iconic moments are skillfully staged, while others are ignored. Usually, every scene plays too long and intense, losing potential for emotional power. Ana de Arnas captures the star's vulnerability and pain with depth, while beautifully embodying Monroe's style. Dominik's direction takes advantage of her skill, spending almost every moment of every scene focused on her. This is a relentless tragedy with minimal bright spots that boils down to an artistic exercise more than an absorbing biopic.… Expand
