The intention behind this movie remains a mystery to me. Director Andrew Dominik apparently wants to show how Monroe was exploited, but actually does it himself. I can appreciate a couple of beautifully shot pictures and a strong performance by Ana de Armas. But the whole tone of the film didn't appeal to me at all. Marilyn Monroe certainly had a troubled life, but I can't imagine that this biopic has much in common with reality. Only the low points of her life are shown, her successes are pushed to the background. In the end, Dominik has nothing more to say than 'Monroe had daddy issues'.
