Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 3d I didn’t realize Marilyn Monroe came from Silent Hill. A lot of speculation on private moments and personal thoughts for a three-hour bio-pic with moments and thoughts that no one could have known, I think it’s borderline slanderous, and all amidst back & forth from b&w to color that seems random and without reason or significance other than to show duality that may or may not have been as imagined here. I did check before writing this review to see whether or not this had received a Razzie nomination for Worst Actress because I had just seen an article the other day with this film mentioned in the same breath as the Razzies, but it was not and I’m glad it did not because that performance was just about the only enjoyable thing in this. It was a four-star performance in a one-star movie. What was wrong with the rest of it? It all started in Silent Hill. See more Matthew P. W @worstofthewurst 4d I think critics and viewers who decry the exploitation of Marilyn Monroe in this film completely miss the point - because the exploitation is the point. Norma Jean was thrown into a world where people stripped her of her agency and dehumanized her. It’s difficult to watch and examine an audience’s complicity in this, but again, this is the point. This is only controversial and divisive if you’re kind of dumb. Ana de Armas is absolutely incredible in this, and the rest of the cast was very strong. As a Nick Cave and Warren Ellis fan, I was particularly fond of the soundtrack.

I’m sure her life was difficult but she must have done smart things to get to that level and showing her in this "victim light" felt like the movie dishonored her life…such a disappointing perspective of an incredible women’s life directed by a man 🤦🏻‍♀️ See more Silvina S @SilvinaSis Mar 1 What an amazing film!!! It is not easy to watch it because it shows you what you don't want to see about the industry and the leaders in this crazy world. It reminds me what happened to Amy Winehouse a d Britney Spears.

At its core, all it does is sexualize Marilyn Monroe and make her into a one dimensional character. While it’s true that in her life she had to unfortunately go through some of these terrible things, the movie still should have shown her more respect and put some positive parts of her life as well. In the end the movie wanted to show how her being exploited was horrible, but it just ended up exploiting her even more. See more Eamon A @EamonTheChicken Jan 28 OMG WOW...
