The truth is, the pace of this movie made me not get fed up despite its long length, but the story is really very bad.
A lot has already been said about this movie and most of it is true, from my point of view, I think that the way in which the celebrity situation that the movie is based on, is approached is not the best, since it puts her in a vulnerable situation, where she is literally dominated by men, but without any justification or development of why this happens, leading the film to be misogynistic with this celebrity and turning everything she went through into a spectacle. There are also too many uncomfortable scenes to see that they don't even have a justification for why they are there, they make visible the abuses of power that Marilyn experienced, but in a very morbid way, although it seems that it is about portraying how horrible that was, I don't think that these scenes create a reflection in the audience, only makes us feel uncomfortable and even bad for having seen that.
Biopics are usually made to see the reality behind the lives of artists or celebrities that all or many of us know, but honestly we only want to know the gossip about their personal life, something that this film does half, since it tells a little of her private life and she never develops properly as a real person, because the movie never tells us what she thought or what she would fictitiously do.
One of the few things that can be salvaged is the performance of Ana de Armas, which is surprising, I think she did a lot of work to prepare for such a monumental personality, despite the horrible story that this movie tells and the horrible way in which they expose Marilyn.
My expectations were very high for this project, so it was disappointing to see this story, in addition to dishonoring the memory of such a great celebrity, it ends up being very uncomfortable to watch because of its explicit scenes that are only there for curiosity, Ana de Armas It's not enough to save the movie, it's a shame that all of her projects this year have been gruesome.
