‘Blonde’ director blames female empowerment for the backlash to Netflix’s Marilyn Monroe biopic

Earlier this year, Netflix gave its users a colorful and at times horrifying look at a version of Marilyn Monroe in Blonde. It is divisive, has been criticized for its titular portrayal and now its director is blaming today’s culture for its received backlash.

A Deadline Hollywood article from earlier today features director Andrew Dominik discussing his piece at the Red Sea International Film Festival. He says he was surprised by the response at first — as he has often made acclaimed films no one has seen while in this case, it was the opposite — and much of the poor response in America was due to Blonde’s myth-shattering.
