Blonde (2022) Film Review

Bizarrely, in the same year another, very different Australian director thought it was time for a biopic of Elvis, auteur Andrew Dominik finally realised a decade long goal of bringing another icon back to the silver screen, Marilyn Monroe. Dominik has only released four films this century and this is his most art-house and dangerous project. Sadly, despite the luminous and brilliant Ana de Armas, some outstanding visuals and music (courtesy of Nick Cave and Warren Ellis) it's hampered by bad writing, mostly soaring when people aren't talking.
