Honest and very smart review. I wasn’t inclined to see Blonde—now I definitely won’t! For some counterprogramming, you may enjoy this brief “Drunk History” about Marilyn’s friendship with Ella Fitzgerald, who is played by the delightful Gabourey Sidibe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54UgNa2wKjQ&t=306s
