\tAndrew Dominik’s \u201cBlonde,\u201d starring Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe, skyrocketed to the top of Netflix’s movie chart after its first day available to stream, but the NC-17 drama is leaving many subscribers outraged. The film may have been the talk of the Venice Film Festival with its 14-minute standing ovation, but critics and viewers are calling it \u201csexist,\u201d \u201ccruel\u201d and \u201cone of the most detestable movies\u201d ever made.<\/p>\n
\n
\t\u201cGiven all the indignities and horrors that Marilyn Monroe endured during every 36 years, it is a relief that she didn’t have to suffer through the vulgarities of ‘Blonde,’ the latest necrophiliac entertainment to exploit her,\u201d wrote The New York Times film critic Manohla Dargis, who panned the movie in her review.<\/p>\n
\n
\t\u201cBlonde\u201d is based on the Joyce Carol Oates novel of the same name and loosely recreates the many heartbreaks and tragedies of Monroe’s life and career, from her abusive mother to various sexual assaults in Hollywood. While Ana de Armas’ performance has received universal acclaim, the film itself has ignited outrage for its non-stop harassment, exploitation and traumatization of Monroe. <\/p>\n
\n
\t\u201cI had the extreme misfortune of watching ‘Blonde’ on Netflix last night and let me tell you that movie is so anti-abortion, so sexist, so exploitative,\u201d added Steph Herold, an abortion researcher at the University of California, San Francisco . \u201cCannot recommend it LESS. Don’t watch. The abortion scenes in particular are terrible, but so is the whole entire movie.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n
\tHerold added, \u201cIt depicts Marilyn being coerced into her first abortion, screaming on the table that she’s changed her mind, and then she hallucinates finding a crying baby in her childhood home, which is engulfed in flames.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n
\tJustin Chang, film critic for the Los Angeles Times, wrote in his review, \u201cThe movie isn’t really about Marilyn Monroe. It’s about making her suffer.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n
\t\u201cWhen a movie is truly shattering or devastating, there’s a residual sense of gratitude for what you’ve been through: the necessity of being shaken,\u201d noted Adam Nayman, film essayist and critic for The Ringer. \u201c’Blonde’ is the kind of movie that brutalizes you for three hours, feigns a sigh, and says, ‘You’re welcome.’ Well, thanks for nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
