A raw and visceral narrative of the Marilyn Monroe story that in my opinion is both brave and beautiful. Ana de Armas kills the performance and puts her entire self into the role, which, will likely be the role she is forever best remembered for and as such then this performance should see her strongly considered within the 2023 movie award nominations. The tragic story of Marilyn Monroe depicted in 'Blonde' is like imagining a beautiful White Lily that blows over the bushes and then is forever caught up in it's thorns. 'Blonde' is a gorgeous movie that is likely a very close account of one Hollywood's greatest stars. Enchanting, and, it felt like 'Justify My Love' by Madonna should have come on at some point...

Took a chance on this guven it only had a 6.4 but I had a sneaky suspicion that in fact I would enjoy this and not to my surprise I found I totally did.

There are a few issues that I would take but there are a few issues to take in every film (and even the 9.5's etc).

The suspense was excellent and I've not seen many film that constantly have me in a WTF state of mind.

The acting was all that was needed and the two leads played their respective roles excellently.

I hope to see more of Scott Manns direction.

Don't be put off by 6.4, that is normally where you find the gems, this is a gem and you'll be glad you watched it...
