Blonde is just as divisive as they say. And we are torn, as well.
Is Andrew Dominik’s unconventional biopic of Marilyn Monroe an irresponsible and dishonest act of exploitation, or is it a deeply immersive horror film in the vein of Mulholland Drive and Hereditary?
We discuss the film’s epic length, its precise tone, and Ana de Armas’ central performance. We also wonder if it would’ve played differently on a big screen.
