The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
Stuffing Monroe's life story into the true-crime documentary grinder for a passive shock is just as tabloid-esque as when she was still alive, and just as craven.
indieWire
David Ehrlich
The kind of flimsy and superficial true-crime exposé that's made straight-to-streaming documentaries seem like such unserious business.
Epoch Times
Michael Clark
Even with its many flaws, "MMMUT" proves to be a decent primer for anyone not already familiar with her fascinating life story. That she's still a relevant cultural icon 60 years after her death speaks volumes to her allure, mystique, and staying power.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
This work is a sloppy scrapbook that may feature some lovely images but in the end doesn't come close to telling a complete, respectful life story.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Will only rehash things any Monroe fan already knows.
Common Sense Media
Jennifer Green
As an interviewee in this documentary notes, Marilyn Monroe has always elicited a combination of fascination and empathy among both men and women, and this film proves that point again.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Christy Lemire
Totally empty. A bunch of runaround and buildup for nothing.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
In fact, it's a very good film.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
Tawdry and shallow.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
The film is affecting, because it outlines the saddening end of an adored American icon. But for all its promises of unheard insights, it seldom goes much deeper than an E! True Hollywood Story.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
I came away from The Mystery of Marilyn feeling not just incredibly sad but also a little dirty. Maybe our collective fascination with her makes us all a little complicit. Maybe I'd just rather not be reminded.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
Granted, it was exciting to see some beautiful clips of Marilyn Monroe in all her glory. But listening to tapes of people who knew her speaking on phones or other recording devices did not work out well.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Wade Major
In terms of the craft, Emma Cooper does an amazing job... Take it with a grain of salt, but certainly appreciate how well it's made.
HollywoodChicago.com
Patrick McDonald
Meticulously and cinematically structured by dir Emma Cooper, & for once re-creations work. Chalk this documentary up as one of the best ever made on the elusive movie star, a delicate flower in a field of weeds, eventually overtaken from the roots on up.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
If you call a movie "The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes," your job is to provide at least something worth listening to.
TheWrap
Fran Hoepfner
What follows is more like a podcast, unfortunately, than a film. Summers' interrogation of Monroe's associates and directors is dogged and curious, but it doesn't make for particularly engaging filmmaking.
Decider
John Serba
As a big-boom expose, The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes whiffs. But as a Monroe biography that lands on a more complete and detailed conclusion, it works.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
As well documented as all that was, it's hard to avoid a certain sleaze factor in the telling, and the cheesy reenactments surely don't help.
The MacGuffin
Allen Almachar
Is there anything new to be learned here? The answer is: Not really.

Archi Sengupta
The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes is a decent documentary that sometimes seems sensationalised and a bit difficult to watch.
