They were more interested in themselves than the story. I think @Netflix gave it a NC-17 bc they thought that was the only thing that would sell a weak, misogynistic one dimensional telling of a complex life.1#Blonde is a horrible. self-indulgent for the director and author.

Ana de Armas WAS Norma Jeane. She WAS Marilyn. Hypnotizing performance, undeserving of the criticisms. I was dreading 1962 and that final scene, that final shot. Speechless. P.S. The NC-17 rating was not necessary.3I loved #Blonde. Ana de Armas WAS Norma Jeane. She WAS Marilyn. Hypnotizing performance, undeserving of the criticisms.

A dark Hollywood fever dream “rated” NC-17 not because there is anything graphic (there isnt) but because it lays bare the incessant misogyny of the 20th century. Of course the ratings board was offended. Powerful. Recommended. #Blonde1BLONDE: The anti-biopic.

Also, the scene(s) that likely nabbed the film an NC-17 are completely unnecessary.11#Blonde has a standout performance by Ana de Armas, but really feels exploitative of the tragedy of Marilyn Monroe.
