[Netflix] That a film is labeled as exploiting an icon, which is the same criticism that was made of Joyce Carol Oates' book, indicates the fidelity with which its content is reflected. Among the chaotic and fragmented narrative, there is an interesting confrontation proposal: Norma against Marilyn, the mother who wants to have children against the body invaded by endometriosis that causes abortions, the actress against the sex symbol... The greatest weakness of the film is Ana de Armas, who seems to be more successful as Marilyn Monroe than Norma Jean, closer to the icon than to the person. But ultimately it is a film that manages to reflect the perversion of a masculinized world that manufactures exploited female symbols (Billy Wilder's portrait is especially devastating).
