Blonde is a fictionalized biopic of Marilyn Monroe (Norma Jeane Mortenson) currently streaming on Netflix. Andrew Dominik wrote and directed the movie adapted from Joyce Carol Oates' novel. He filmed it in black and white with dimensional changes.

The movie begins with seven-year-old Norma Jeane (Lily Fisher) being given a photograph of a man by her mother, Gladys (Julianne Nicholson), for her birthday. Her mother claims the man is Norma Jeane's father (Tygh Runyan). That night, a fire starts in Hollywood Hills, and Gladys takes Norma Jeane to Hollywood Hills to see her father. The police won't let them pass. So they go home. When Norma Jeane asks about her father, her mother tries to drown her in the tub but lets her go. She tells their neighbor, Miss Flynn (Sarah Paxton). Norma Jeane goes to an orphanage, and her mother is institutionalized.

The story continues with her rise to stardom as Marilyn Monroe (Ana de Armas) and her friendship with Charles "Cass" Chaplin Jr. (Xavier Samuel) and Edward "Eddy" G. Robinson Jr. (Evan Williams). It covers her marriages to Joe DiMaggio (Bobby Cannavale) and Arthur Miller (Adrien Brody). Then, it ends with her addiction to drugs and alcohol, her relationship with President Kennedy (Caspar Phillipson), and her death.

Blonde has a rating of NC17 because of its sexual content, to criticism that the movie is exploitative and unethical.
