What To Watch Before Blonde, Netflix's Marilyn Monroe Biopic
Netflix's Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde is just around the corner, with the release of Netflix's Monroe documentary, The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes, signalling the beginning of the movie's marketing. Unfortunately, the documentary is terrible. It's a podcast of a movie, filmed with strange lip syncing by actors over recorded phone calls, telling us nothing of value, and juggling between distancing itself from the misogynistic caricature of Monroe and salaciously debating how many times she slept with each of the Kennedy brothers. It might be Netflix's attempt to stir up interest for Blonde, but it's more likely to put people off. Thankfully, there are quite a few other things you can watch beforehand to put you in the mood for Marilyn.
