For ID magazine, Blonde was labelled a 'guttural, instinctive, anguished filmmaking that bends space, time, and every cinematic tool at its disposal in service of attaining emotional truth'. Or viewers might have taken the position of the New Yorker's Richard Brody, who called it 'ridiculously vulgar', seeing the endless torment that Monroe experiences on-screen as 'a special kind of directorial sadism'. There were certainly no punches being pulled by Australian director Andrew Dominik in his adaptation of the hit semi-fictional book of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates.
From the trauma of a mentally unstable and violent mother, through her rape at the hands of a studio boss, to a particularly sordid scene with president John F Kennedy, Monroe's life is depicted as one of relentless abuse and anguish. Dominik spent 11 years trying to get the film made, and has credited the #MeToo movement against sexual assault with finally generating interest in the story -- though he reportedly fought long and hard with Netflix over long running time and graphic scenes. Armas told reporters at the Venice Film Festival, where the film premiered last year, that she had to go to 'uncomfortable, dark and vulnerable' places for the role. 'She was all I thought about, all I dreamed about, all I could talk about. She was with me, and it was beautiful,' she said. The crew filmed in the real locations where Monroe was born and died, with Dominik saying the shoot 'took on elements of a seance'.

She said about 55-year-old director Andrew Dominik's process: 'A lot of times, yeah. 'Andrew is an incredible filmmaker and also very detailed and precise and it was really important for him and me and every department to really nail these re-creations. 'And, so we had two monitors. Our movie and then Marilyn's movie and they were playing both at the same time. 'And, if we didn't get it right, we had to do it again. 'There was a moment where my hairstylist kept coming back and forth to me and the monitor to fix my hair and she was, poor thing, doing so many trips that I just go with her to the monitors.
'And I realized that she is looking at Marilyn trying to fix my hair… she wasn't looking at me. 'So, yeah, it is a testament to, you know the incredible work that the art department and hair and makeup and wardrobe did.' Ana also said she stunned the cast and crew of Blonde by screaming on the set of her upcoming John Wick spin-off Ballerina when she was told she had been nominated for a Golden Globe Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama award.
She added: 'So I'm on set and they were just like in between takes they're changing lenses or something and my assistant comes with a phone, like, Лучшие сериалы онлайн very straight faced and just gives me something to read and it was this text chain. 'And I start reading, and then I realized what I'm reading, and I scream, but of course it was a stunt scene, so everyone got very worried thinking that something was happening. 'I was like, ''No, no, no. It's okay."'
