Three hours of sheer boredom with the whole focus of the film being on Norma Jean's father who abandoned her mother before she was born. Nothing new on offer. A lot of nude shots, Marilyn calling her husbands "Daddy" the babies she couldn't have, her intelligence got short shrift and her drug taking a huge focus, fed by her handlers.

John F. Kennedy, the womanizer, is depicted in a particularly revolting scene.

Shock value ruled the day and nothing new was added.

Totally disappointing and the words that comes to mind are crude and vulgar. Good imitative performance from Ana.

But not worth a re-watch or an award of any kind.

2/10.

Anyone who knew about or cared about Marilyn would have written a movie about a beautiful, vulnerable creature who came across as so lovable on the screen, yet never got the love she deserved from those close to her.

If someone wants to make a twisted, raunchy movie, they are free to do so. What is wrong is to USE a famous icon to do it. The author of the book and the director/writer of the movie could have created a fictional Monroe type character but they chose not to. Why? Because they knew if they exploited a beloved icon they'd get far more attention. They are p*mping this poor woman.

Marilyn Monroe had a difficult, unstable and lonely childhood. She had no one to protect her and no one to guide her. She struggled long and hard to become a star. She was built up by a studio who saw her looks, charisma and raw talent. She was basically a piece of meat to them.

The public adored her, but she had to struggle to cope and survive as a beautiful actress in 1950s Hollywood. She was mostly a gentle, sensitive soul. This obviously had to be difficult for her.

She turned to pills to be able to sleep, and pills to keep her weight down. She was on a foggy roller coaster ride. She had friends who wouldn't or couldn't help her. The most desired woman in the world was basically alone to fight for herself. On top of that, I've read old movie magazine articles of the time calling her old at 36!

Marilyn is still an icon 60 years since her death. Why? People still love watching her in her films. She personifies glamour, vulnerability and sensuality all in one. People identify with her vulnerability and some of the problems she faced. They also realize her untapped potential.

This woman made people happy and made people laugh. She made mistakes like anyone else with no guidance and on their own. Still, she wasn't a ruthless, nasty person. I doubt she ever got as much as she gave.

Let her rest. Don't make up some twisted story and use her tragedy to promote your book, movie or yourself. She was used enough in her lifetime.

This was so difficult to get through. It felt so messy and everything was one tone the entire way through, it was disaster after disaster with no room to breathe. I feel like even though this was a long film it didn't show who Monroe actually was, it focused on everything bad which I see what they were trying to do and what led her to taking her life but it was too much. There is also very sexual (sexual assault) scenes and they are so uncomfortable and unnecessary and felt a little disrespectful to show especially for that long! A lot of unnecessary nudity to be honest and abortion scenes which were too long and showed way too much and this happened 2/3 times it was horrific. This movie had these problems the entire way through and it was 3 hours! It was way too long for what we got, not worth the watch at all.
