Essay: On the continuing fascination with Marilyn Monroe

Hindustan Times  

For Norman Mailer, she was the ultimate figment of every man’s desire. For Arthur Miller, she was “a poet on a street corner trying to recite to a crowd pulling at her clothes.” For Elton John, she was a “candle in the wind.” Sex symbol, feminist icon, metaphor, merchandise, mystery — Marilyn Monroe has been just about everything the world …

Blonde movie accuracy: fact vs. fiction in Netflix’s Marilyn Monroe biopic with Ana de Armas.

Slate  

Netflix’s Blonde is not so much a biopic based on the facts of the late Hollywood icon’s life as a speculative dive into her psyche, very much in the vein of Spencer, Pablo Larraín’s tribute to another iconic blond, Princess Diana. Discovering what’s fact and what’s fiction in Blonde is further complicated by the source material for the film being …

Review: ‘Blonde’ isn’t really about Marilyn Monroe. It’s about making her suffer

LA Times  

There’s at least one moment in “Blonde,” Andrew Dominik’s dazzling, depressing and fatally incurious movie about Marilyn Monroe, when you might not be sure if you’re watching Ana de Armas or the genuine article.

Most crucially, it’s not factual — it’s based on a novel, “Blonde” by …
