Review of Blonde

Blonde (2022)
7/10
Unnecessarily Naked...
28 September 2022
A young woman, disturbed, tortured and scarred by her childhood; abused, exploited and manipulated by those she most trusts; anxious, afraid and troubled by what she really wants and what she actually has, spirals into chaos and despair, cascades into confusion and mayhem, and pays the ultimate price for fame and fortune, for pleasing others above herself, while sacrificing the innocence that endears her to the world.

Longer than your typical movie, it's only through the compelling and gripping performance of Ana de Armas that it gets away with that longevity, although the subject matter of this grim, fictionalised telling generally captures most people's attention, but I'm not sure the exposure she gets throughout really adds to the value.
