What to Know

Critics Consensus

Ana de Armas' luminous performance makes it difficult to look away, but Blonde can be hard to watch as it teeters between commenting on exploitation and contributing to it.

Blonde | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Todd Gilchrist AV Club Ana de Armas (Knives Out) delivers a truly extraordinary performance as the platinum superstar and icon, while Dominik and his collaborators discover endlessly inventive ways to recreate highlights from Monroe’s iconography. Rated: B- Oct 14, 2022 Full Review Blonde | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Stephen Romei The Australian Blonde is a strange movie. There’s no ducking that. I like it, especially for de Armas’s tour de force, but I can see how others may not. Rated: 4/5 Oct 6, 2022 Full Review Blonde | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Adam Nayman The Ringer Andrew Dominik’s bludgeoning Marilyn Monroe biopic has all the signs of a passion project, but none of the rewards. Oct 5, 2022 Full Review Blonde | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Alex Papaioannou InSession Film It’s a literal descent through madness, brought on by a system and society that builds up individuals only to spit them out the other side. Rated: B- Oct 31, 2023 Full Review Blonde | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu Ana de Armas is scintillating in a film that tells the story of pop-culture icon Marilyn Monroe, but Blonde hardly explores who Norma Jeane truly is behind her on-screen avatar. Oct 4, 2023 Full Review Blonde | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Damon Wise Deadline Hollywood Daily ll the technical elements are remarkable, from cinematography to production design and score. But that the film works at all is down to the extraordinary performance at the heart of it: Ana de Armas carries the film squarely on her shoulders. Sep 21, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Shioka O Ana De Armas's performance is truly convincing and extraordinary. This movie is kinda weird and blurry than I expected something brutal. Could be shorter. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review Spiros T What excellent performances from the cast. The direction and photography were one of a kind. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review M G First and foremost very poor acting by Ana de Armas. Her accent is terribly off-putting. Marilyn Monroe wasn't Hispanic and De Armas should have employed a dialect coach to be more convincing. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Alec B An interesting reworking of Lynch's "Fire Walk with Me" and "Mulholland Dr." (Two movies were the main characters were obviously meant to invoke Monroe) and Ana de Armas gives a performance for the ages here. Honestly ignore the outrage as it is mostly the result of boring people who are mad that a piece of art made them feel something. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Alahna R Hidden behind an incredibly horrible accent is an actress who doesn’t quite seem to know how to pronounce the name of the character she’s playing correctly. The whole film comes off as the directors ultimate fantasy of Marilyn Monroe played out on screen through a weak and monotonous script. Through Ana’s portrayal of Marilyn, we got a very shy, timid and seemingly stringed out version of Ms.“Ma-row” Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Ctrlsii Disgusting and exploitative of Marlyn Monroe, directed by a creep who's only goal was to fetishise the star. Despite her passing in 1962 in 2022 she is still being disrespected, the main excuse for this movies portrayal of Marlyn is that it's "fiction" despite this director chooses to use her real name, act out parts of her life and rewrite her story as his own. Such a shame to see her legacy being ripped apart by an awful movie. Would not recommend. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
