Blonde has divided critics in early reviews, who have described it as both “miserabilist” and “fascinating”.Directed by Andrew Dominik and based on the novel by Joyce Carol Oates, Blonde stars Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe and “blurs the lines of fact and fiction” in a reimagining of her life.

Ana de Armas channeled Old Hollywood glamour at the Venice Film Festival premiere on Thursday, honoring her onscreen character, Marilyn Monroe, with an elegant pink gown and understated white jewelry. The film is a nearly three-hour adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates' 700-page novel of the same name. De Armas told this week that the film «changed my life,» adding that «I did this movie to push myself, because I thought it was a gift.» De Armas floated down the carpet in a flowing coral pink dress with a deep neckline and tie at the waist.

Sophie Monks Kaufman of IndieWire writes that Dominik doesn’t quite give enough effort in saying or showing something about the pop culture icon. “The film is Dominik’s finger pointed at everyone who had a hand traumatizing his leading lady, from her mother trying to drown her in the bath aged 7 to her death from an overdose of barbiturates at 36 after being used and abused by the Hollywood machine,” Kaufman adds.Vanity Fair’s Richard Lawson also points out the exploitation employed in the movie, noting the “boldly and complexly mounted” technique “could actually be in service of something far simpler and more base.”“‘Blonde’is a film partly about exploitation that might be exploitative itself. If the film is aware of that meta function, then there’s something interesting happening in it,” Lawson’s review continued.
