Blonde shares several thematic similarities with the filmmaker’s 2007 classic The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Blonde is very much a #MeToo movie that presents Marilyn and her ella daddy issues as an archetype. Dominik also reclaims some of the most iconic moments in Marilyn’s life from the perverts and the paparazzi that authored them. After spending over 150 minutes within inches of her face, he shoots Marilyn’s last moments of her from a respectful distance. De Armas has somehow summoned the spirit of Marilyn Monroe herself to take control of her body from her, and the result is stunning.
