Popcorn Culture - Review: Blonde

Based on Joyce Carol Oates' bestselling fictional take on Marilyn Monroe's life, Blonde is a psychological biopic drama that garnered a lot of controversy even before it came out for a variety of reasons: the casting of Ana de Armas in the central role, its graphic content, and the central question - did we need another film about this tragic film icon? We try to answer that in this review.
