Never again should Andrew Dominik be allowed to pervert anyone else's screen with the garbage he tries to sell as art. To say that this film is exploitative is like saying McDonalds is a little hamburger joint. "Exploitative"" doesn't even begin to cover it.
Seriously, even sixty years after her death Marilyn Monroe cannot seem to escape the perversion that some people felt (and obviously still feel) was their god-given right to impose on her, or apparently, the cruelty of some within the entertainment industry.
More so, horribly so, Ana de Armas was not only also complicit in exploiting Monroe and her life, but in allowing herself to be debased and defiled as well. This "film", although it pains me to even call it that, is nothing more than an overacted, overly-long, drawn out, prepubescent torture fantasy with which Dominik could get his rocks off, and which de Armas thought would solidify her as an industry icon.
If all you are interested in seeing is de Armas or her numerous topless scenes, may I suggest Deep Water? She is just as adorable, seductive and unclothed in that. Plus, even with its low critical acclaim, scores and ratings, it will save you from the assault that is Blonde.
