In the middle of 2022, the movie I was looking forward to the most was 'Blonde', but... I'm really disappointed.
The film has nowhere to hold on, it's just a fictional compilation of the supposed life of Marilyn Monroe, where we don't get context and it's easy to get lost through the scenes and the large number of characters (which if you didn't know the story, you wouldn't really know who they are) of a feature film of almost three hours. The direction is good, although quite experimental where sometimes elements that seem to come out of nowhere are combined. Not to mention the constant switching between color and black/white that doesn't seem to represent anything concrete.
Ana de Armas's performance is brilliant, by far the best of the film, despite how poor her character is.
I'm really disappointed, in these times we live in, designing a movie about Marilyn Monroe could have contained a much more powerful message. The story of a woman who went through the sexualization of the industry in the 50's. Instead the film only seems to add fuel to the fire by showing nudity at any time and sometimes for no reason.
Based on a story in parts fictitious, with a vision, in my opinion, poorly focused, they make 'Blonde' a great disappointment.
