Na een traumatische jeugd groeit Norma Jeane Mortenson in het Hollywood van de jaren 1950 uit tot een filmster en sekssymbool. Onder het pseudoniem Marilyn Monroe wordt ze wereldberoemd. Maar de schone schijn op het witte doek staat in schril contrast met de liefdesproblemen, uitbuiting, machtsmisbruik en drugsverslaving waarmee ze in haar privéleven geconfronteerd wordt.

Blonde Ratings & Reviews
- jacxcx14 oktober 2025If you don’t know Norman’s story well, step by step through her career, it’s a bit confusing and you miss many parts of the story, quotes, and important elements. But it’s simply a beautiful film, with wonderful direction and screenplay, and it’s one of those cases where no one but Ana de Armas could have played one of the greatest and most immortal icons in history, Norman Jeane.
- Carlos Ibarra24 juli 2025Blonde is an absolutely haunting film, and while I'm not sure how accurate its portrayal of Marilyn Monroe is, it will undoubtedly rip your guts out and stay with you long after the credits roll. Ana de Armas is heartbreaking in her portrayal, delivering a performance that is both beautiful and devastating.
- Kevin Ward3 juli 2025Having finally seen this, I get how it earned a nomination for Ana de Armas even if I still don’t think I would’ve put her forward as an nominee. Even a full 45 minutes into the film, I still didn’t care for her casting. Her accent never totally disappears. But as the film wears on and you experience this ugly and visceral examination of fame, celebrity, objectification, exploitation—and given that more often than not de Armas appears topless at some point in her films—her casting felt more and more like a means to extend the examination beyond the frame lines of the film. There are even a couple moments where her full accent comes through—seemingly intentionally. It sort of re-contextualized her casting for me and actually began to re-contextual the film as a whole. It’s beautifully shot, at times gorgeous to look at, yet also, incredibly uncomfortable, unsettling and grotesque. I understand the hatred of this. It’s a nightmarish and unnerving fever dream of a film that has very little to do with Norma Jeane herself. I don’t know that we should even characterize this as a biopic. It’s an immensely challenging watch, but I think to write it off as pure exploitation is little too reductive. I can’t say that I would ever want to watch this again, but I found it to be a thought-provoking watch.
