  Review by B E R T ★★★★½ 3

  One of the best of the Marilyn biopics, thanks largely to Poppy Montgomery and her truly fantastic performance. I kept trying to find something to fault with it and I can’t, she gets it all right, and you can see she has a great understanding of who Marilyn was which comes across so well in her acting. The series itself is rather exhaustive, very long, 3 hours, however, it’s never boring. I especially like the longer portion of her life before the moviestar years, it takes its time in showing how Norma Jeane became Marilyn.

  I thought I would check out the 2001 made for tv version of Blonde, based on the novel by Joyce Carol Oates, before the Netflix release this week (New Zealand time) of the film directed by Andrew Dominik, based on the same novel and also titled Blonde. There's a theme running here! I have recently read that Oates is somewhat derogatory about Marilyn in her writing, and much of what she touts as fact is total fiction. At least this two-part series begins by stating, 'Although the following film depicts some actual persons and events, it is a work of fiction’. It will be interesting to see if the Netflix movie does the same.

  The storyline follows a young Norma…

  Review by Kai Perrignon ★★★★

  "Her problem wasn't that she was a dumb blonde. It was that she wasn't dumb and she wasn't blonde."

  Chopra understands the absurdity of the abuse, the near-comic car crash of tragedy that keeps piling up and up and up, and she also understands that a laugh can still hurt. In the last act of Smooth Talk, caricature and horror are one in the same. In Blonde, caricature and horror are not the same but they feed each other. Everyone but Monroe (with credits like "The Playwright" and "Mr. R") is a signifier for some greater systemic abuse, and Monroe herself is a signifier for her complicity in her own subjugation. The film oddly plays like a theoretical exercise more…

  Review by Duarte ★★★★½

  When the set photos of Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe were released in 2019, I was immediately obsessed with the film and couldn’t wait to see it. Even though I had been anticipating this film for the past 3 years, I barely decided a few months ago to start reading the novel the film is based on as a way to get ready for Andrew Dominik’s upcoming film adaptation of the novel of the same name.

  The author, Joyce Carol Oates, is adamant in making sure the reader is reminded that the novel is a form of fiction and not to be intended as fact.  Oates has also stated that these characters are “mythical figures” and she makes sure…
