What begins as a fair appraisal of the early life and career of Marilyn Monroe quickly becomes dogged down in the baseless conspiracy theories around her death, a documentary ending in a mire of nonsense.
The most salubrious claims, that Jimmy Hoffa recorded Monroe having had sex with Bobby Kennedy, photos of them together in LA, come out without an iota of evidence. The central journalist claims they may have been scrubbed by the FBI. Perhaps they are just not true.
If you want to look at a work that does even handed research into both the incredible life and sad death of Monroe I would recommend her biography by Donald Spoto, not the same tabloid trash reheated here.
That Netflix is releasing this dreck and has been sitting on Blonde for over a year, which looks like it will be a very interesting portrayal of her life, is a sad state of affairs.
