Misunderstood Film
I agree w/the person who says this is a horror film. It is. Celebrity culture is infused with some of the worst humanity behavior. Rumors circulated for years about how MARILYN was exploited. But there are other stars with equally ugly tragic lives. For what we know of all the ME TOO crimes, I'm sure what we don't know is uglier.
Movie is TOO LONG. Also too many indulgent graphic moments. The movie is at its best when the images are stylized. I hated the embryo animation. Seemed like oblique pro life propaganda. It loses points for that especially.
Marilyn had a tragic life for real and this approximates the horror of it. - Bpaxson002 - 1 January 2023
Makes the John Belushi, Wired, seem an Oscar Winner by contrast
If you are looking for in-depth coverage of M's character, you should change the channel. This miscarriage of digital storytelling is nothing more than attempt to make some money on dead woman's image. However, they did find a new way to do it: Simply make things up!
Yeah it is based on a crappy novel, but that is no excuse. Maybe the guy who did the direction and scriptwriting should stick to his music videos. He seems unfit for anything else. If I was Netflix, I'd be asking for my money back from Dominik. Or maybe they are looking for a tax write off like WB is using. Can we put this one back in the can and get Batgirl released instead?
