While I loved Ana's performance, I wish that the writing had been more on point for her.

This could have been such an epic film, it was gorgeous, but it went so awry. It was so hard to watch. Also her accent is comes through so often in scenes . Also why film in the same room Marilyn passed away in? There were so many weird boundaries crossed. Why does she continue to be used and assaulted post mortem? Weird. Triggering at times.

I thought the graphic scenes were needed to just open the door to a conversation about how women were or are still being treated in the entertainment industry. Is it really that hard to believe that women are expect to “perform” regardless if they want to or not? I believe that have been and still are women being exploited and manipulated by people around them with ill intentions. Yes this is a fictionalized movie but is it really a large leap to being actually true? Or God forbid it could have been worse for Marylin and any other female (or males) who become victims in the name of fame and money

I thought the film, and Ana’s performance were both mesmerizing. It was such a unique lens on the story of Marilyn’s life. The reality that she and many starlets of her time went through. I think many people don’t want to admit that these icons on the silver screen were subjected to a lot of abuse. That’s an uncomfortable truth, and I think art should be uncomfortable.

Ana gave an incredible performance and was by far the best Marilyn Monroe performance I've ever seen.

Of all of the actresses who have portrayed Marilyn Monroe in so many films, Ana de Armas is hands down the prettiest and the one who resembles the late blonde bombshell the most. I've been looking at video clips of other actresses portrayal and even the much hyped Michelle Williams is not as convincing as Ana. Also, Andrew Dominick's production quality is the best. The hair, makeup, clothing, background, props, etc... He literally brings the photographs to life! It's a shame that he and Ana have been subjected to a smear campaig. I hope that Ana is able to float above the unfair and absurd accusations and win an Oscar that she so richly deserves.

She is so pretty😭

Loved this movie ♥️🌹

No just no take down the movie

This movie, this version of her story - WOW, in my opinion - this was a really great version - and it explained and put you there - everywhere...her life, that time, it totally put you there. This version, was both, thought and emotion provoking. I must say....the scene where she is running in the yard of the property of her new husband, the writer...that scene is SPOOKY AF, I thought for a few moments and glimpses - I literally saw Marilyn's face in Ana's face. Spooky, strange, rare and so powerful. Very sad and tragic story. Thank you Netflix and all involved.

People are disgusted about the plot but I find it perfect because we always watch happy sides and sometimes is necessary to feel uncomfortable to understand life. For me the film is an 8 (not a 9 because I felt it was too long).

The actors and the cinematography are the only good thing about this movie. It was gross and disrespectful.

People must stop assuming what others are or have been feeling or thinking. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous to make statements about how she was feeling inside... just plain stupid. If you are going to make a film about a legend, if you are going to star as the legend, pay respect. Don't destroy them by assuming things.

So much work for such a poor script...

I love marylin Monroe I had a dream one day I was in her house talking to her there was a white piano there as well...she was so sweet!!

I thought it was a good movie and Ana did a great job!!!

This movie was not it. The Movie is an insult to Marilyn What they did to her is disgusting. 3 hours of my life I will never get back. What a horrible movie. (The director openly admitted that he never watched any of Marilyn's films, further proof that this movie was only made to cash in on a Hollywood Starlet.) They continue to exploit and sexualize a dead person with made up things, as if she wasn't exploited and sexualized enough. As a massive fan this was a shot to the heart, worse than any book, documentary or biopic i have seen.

I thought this movie was incredible

She did it perfectly!

she's cuter than marylin

This was all art.

I’m not a big fan of this movie

i really wish this was all the movie was about.. giving homage to those who contributed to marilyn’s stardom (the costumes&movies) and the impact she’s had on american pop culture instead of having to show her in such an awful light and making up stories just to infantilize her. we all can see that the movie is better off without watching her go through/do some of the horrible things that they made her do. the story would not have been affected and probably would have had actual fans and appreciation. but because it went into a route where marilyn is exploited and fetishized to serve the male perspective, we are being fed false ideas or stories used to validate the public’s fantasies about marilyn and what she might have been like “under the costumes”. the movie is a complete mess and it’s such a waste as well because the cinematography really is beautiful and so is ana. i’m very disappointed.

i haven't seen the movie yet but i bet there is nothing about hell she's been through prior to her rise to fame and hell she's been through throughout her life as celebrity. Times when she was active as known as golden age of hollywood but that age is overshadowed by what girls and women had to do to become actresses. For me personally golden age of hollywood is disguise for crimes comitted during that era, crimes nobody talks about. Marlyn had hard life before rise to fame and that didn't change. People who could have help her back then didn't because they saw her as tool to make money, nothing more. Read about her life and see for yourself what happend to girl who wanted to find love.

It’s a shame. Ana is a brilliant actress and actually can look a lot like Marilyn. The script was horrendous and not even true to who Marilyn actually was. I wish we could have had Ana in something like My Week with Marilyn or another film that didn’t essentially torture and humiliate this poor woman for two hours. 😢

Well technically anyone could play Marilyn Monroe. Its a character created by Normagin.

Difícil imitar a merelyn. Fue única ya no habrá más como ella

She made a good and respectable effort with the acting. However, it is not "Oscar Worthy" as many say. Just because she resembles her image in some scenes or because she went into extremes with the crying, yelling etc in comparison to her previous movies, that doesn't trully make it a phenomenal piece of acting. The way she sounds is accurate but only when you think of certain roles Monroe was in like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Marilyn was much more than the blonde bombshell she and the director portrayed here. Although she made a good effort to represend an image of Marilyn, i don't think Ana is going to be nominated for any acting awards, i am sorry. Too supeficial and in some scenes there was quite a bit of overacting/exaggeration IMO.

This was not an easy film and we need to give credit to the actors, writers, directors, make-up artists, set designers, lunch runners etc...even if many felt the film or Anna were not the best, at least they gave it their all and that alone.deserves credit
