Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4833000, member: 974"] [B]Blonde - 2023 [/B] Another Marilyn Monroe bio-pic. Just looking at Ana de Armas for two hours could make a good movie, in this one she is naked for half the time. Yet somehow this is an awful film. Slow with long lingering shots of nothing. It's a one note depressing bunch of drivel. Armas spends most of the film crying. Bobby Cannavale makes it worse as a terribly miscast Joe DiMaggio. He plays Joltin' Joe as a clueless brute. Joe was elegant and stylish, known as a quiet man who lived with grace and class. It's a big miss. The one bright spot in the film is Adrien Brody's portrayal of Authur Miller. It is understated and pitch perfect. It gives a perfect character for Armas to react to. It is the only time in the film where the Monroe character reveals real depth and seem like an actual human being. It's not enough -- one star trending toward half a star. [/QUOTE]
